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.
- 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
