CWDM mux/demux modules are bidirectional passive optical multiplexers and demultiplexers, allowing multiple optical signals at different wavelengths to pass through a single optical fiber strand. The product is designed to integrate conveniently with Grass Valley's FIO-1901, FIO-901 and FIO-991p Series of optical/electrical converters, but is equally useful with any other product working with CWDM wavelengths such as Grass Valley's NVISION routers. The CWDM mux/demux combines up to 18 different wavelength signals from different optical fibers into a single optical fiber, or separates up to 18 different wavelength signals coming from a single optical fiber to 18 separate optical fibers. The units are completely agnostic to the signal type, allowing different signals such as AES, MADI, DVB-ASI, 3G/HD/SD SDI or Ethernet to travel in either direction on the same fiber link.
Key Features
4, 8, 16 or 18 channel optical mux/demux
Long distance coverage of multiple signals on a single fiber strand
Various types of signals supported such as 3G/HD/SD, AES, DVB-ASI , Ethernet, etc.
Same module can be used in either direction, allowing some channels in one direction and other channels in opposite direction
Passive CWDM optical mux/demux design
Minimizes content delivery costs where dark fiber is available
Packaged in the same modular form as the FOS series of optical splitters, with all modules the same width, and configured to install in a convenient 1 RU tray that holds up to 10 single height modules or 5 double height modules, or any combination of both
Operating temperature range: 0° to 70° C (32° to 158° F)
*Use of wavelengths in the vicinity of 1380 nm requires the use of Zero Water Peak Fiber cables, i.e., conforming to Rec. ITU -T G.652 (11/2009), C or D attributes.
