L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand and a preferred manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, has introduced a new series of Dense Wave-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Mux, Demux and Mux/Demux products to address growing metro and regional transport, PON, GPON and FTTx applications.
L-com’s 20 new DWDM Mux and Demux products consist of both LGX cassettes and 19” rack-mount units that were designed to maximize fiber usage by reducing the fiber count from the central office/head-end and to increase bandwidth between switches, routers and other equipment without requiring additional investment in fiber infrastructure.
The PDW1 series LGX plug-in units feature 4 and 8 channel options, 100 GHz spacing, LC connectors with a UPC polish as well as express channel and 1% optical power monitor ports. The PDW3 models feature a 19” rack-mount design with a space saving 1U height.
These units provide two fiber, combo mux/demux operation with 20 channels, 100 GHz spacing, LC UPC connectors and 1% monitor ports in addition to express channel capability. These new DWDM mux/demux products offer industry standard wavelength configurations and are designed for use in inside plant (ISP) applications.
“Our new lineup of passive DWDM mux/demux products allows our customers to save money and valuable space by greatly reducing the number of fibers required to connect sites and equipment in their networks. One big benefit of using DWDM technology is that it increases bandwidth by allowing multiple data streams to be sent simultaneously over a single fiber,” said Paul Hospodar, Product Line Manager.
L-com’s new Passive DWDM Mux and Demux products are in-stock and available for same-day shipping.
