Features and Benefits:The F-tone Networks’s WDM series of CWDM devices offer numerous improvements over the previous generation of devices:
1. Lowest optical insertion loss (refer to Table 2 for details)-Compared to the previous generation of CWDM filters, the insertion loss is reduced up to 50 percent, depending on the model. This translates into much longer distances in both point-to-point and ring configurations.
2. Addition of "monitor" ports on every network port of multiplexers and OADMs as well as on the pass port on OADM4-x to simplify turn-up operations of CWDM networks-The monitor ports also can be used for in-service monitoring of the CWDM signals by means of an optical spectrum analyzer or a power meter.
3. Addition of two 4-channel OADM types for added flexibility: part number CWDM-OADM4-1 to cover the 1470, 1490, 1510, and 1530 channels and part number CWDM-OADM4-2 to cover the 1550, 1570, 1590, and 1610 channels.4. LC/UPC connectors
5. 1300-nm transparency-OADMs are now transparent to "traditional" 1300-nm channels. In other words, the 1300-nm signals can pass through the OADMs with a well-controlled loss. This feature helps enable configurations where CWDM can share the same fiber with traditional SONET/SDH services running on the 1300-nm wavelength.
6. Addition of a WDM splitter (or Y-cable) to multiplexer and demultiplexer channels in the 1300- and 1550-nm ranges-The WDM splitter cable can be used with CWDM optics or with standard 1550 optics. This Y-cable is another tool to integrate on the same fiber infrastructure CWDM with traditional SONET/SDH services running on the 1300-nm wavelength.
