Add-On ADD-WDM-O0811-40-000-UE 8+2 Channel DWDM Mux/Demux

Overview

The Add-On ADD-WDM-O0811-40-000-UE is an 8+2 channel DWDM Mux/Demux unit designed for extending network capacity over existing fiber infrastructure. It supports wavelengths C40 through C47, with dedicated upgrade and express ports for flexible network expansion. This unit is critical for high-density data center interconnects, campus networks, or any scenario requiring efficient wavelength division multiplexing without deploying new fiber runs. The ADD-WDM-O0811-40-000-UE allows for the aggregation of multiple data streams onto a single fiber pair, significantly increasing bandwidth and simplifying network architecture.

Compatibility

This DWDM Mux/Demux unit is designed to be compatible with standard DWDM transceivers operating within the C-band (1530nm to 1565nm) on channels C40 through C47. It is intended for use in point-to-point DWDM systems. Ensure that the transceivers used at the other end of the fiber link are configured for the corresponding wavelengths and that the total optical power budget is accounted for. It is not designed for use with CWDM systems or unmanaged fiber links without compatible DWDM transceivers.

Installation Notes

Install the unit in a clean, temperature-controlled environment, ideally within a standard 19-inch rack. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit to prevent overheating, as it is a passive optical device but can be affected by ambient temperature. Connect the common port to the fiber link carrying all multiplexed signals. Connect the 8 client ports and 2 express/upgrade ports to their respective DWDM transceivers. Exercise caution when handling fiber optic connectors to avoid contamination or damage. The unit is passive and requires no power input.
