18 Channels Double Fiber Passive CWDM Mux/Demux Description
18 Channels Double Fiber Passive CWDM mux/demux – DCMD-18 is a member of the EDGE Optics xWDM Series product line. We designed EDGE Optics xWDM Series products to allow easy, gradual, logical, and cost-efficient expansion of network bandwidth using industry-leading passive WDM technology. The main advantage of xWDM is its passive nature – no power supply or cooling necessary, robustness with no special micro-climate requirements, and as a passive element, it has an MTBF of 100+ years. xWDM is fully data rate and line protocol neutral – it is possible to use with colored transceivers supporting applications such as 1G/10G Ethernet, SDH/SONET, and 8/4/2/1G Fiber Channel. It is simple to install and requires no configuration or maintenance. DCMD-18 is a passive multiplexer/demultiplexer package based on Compact CWDM technology, designed to organize 18 duplex, protocol-independent ITU-T G.694.2 compatible Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplex (CWDM) data streams over a pair of single-mode optical fiber. The unit features LC/UPC connectors. With a focus on minimal insertion loss, DCMD-18 is equipped with band-pass or skip filters extending the maximum distance of CWDM connections. DCMD-18 is manufactured as 1 rack-unit high device fitting any standard equipment rack. The 1% monitor port ensures easy troubleshooting without downtime.
