Passive 8 Channel CWDM MUX/DeMUX Access Module
Multiplying transmission capacities of fiber connections
Combining different services on one line
Optimised optical construction for maximum distances
Highest flexibility due to combination with active MICROSENS modules and CWDM option
No power supply necessary
By using passive multiplexers, several optical channels of different wavelengths can be combined, which will allow multiple services to the transmitted together via fiber without interference. What makes this possible is the fact that different light colours (wavelengths) do not affect each other. For transmission, light colours are multiplexed onto an fiber using a wavelength-specific filter (multiplexing). At the other (receiving) end of the line, the wavelengths are divided again, or rather, demultiplexed. Hence, any transmission line consists of a multiplexer and a demultiplexer.
The passive multiplexer and demultiplexer modules are working with the CWDM grid according ITU G.694.2 standard. The multiplexer/demultiplexer rack modules are part of a wide product range of functional modules for installation in modular rack systems from MICROSENS. In addition to desktop housings, users can select a 19" chassis with up to 12 slots. When using multi-slot chassis, the converter may be combined with any other modules from the Enterprise Access family. In addition, the MICROSENS product portfolio offers active converters for optical or electrical/optical adaptation of data channels to the appropriate wavelengths and required ranges.
