WDM/2 Series
With WDM products, service providers and
enterprise network managers can easily double
fiber capacity and integrate multiple protocols.
Product Overview
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that enables
the transmitting of multiple, optical signals on different wavelengths
over one strand of fiber. The series is designed for installations
where fiber is limited in terms of availability. Service providers and
enterprise network managers can easily double their fiber capacity
without incurring the costs associated with installing new fiber.
Campus area network managers can deploy the B&B Electronics
WDM solution, for example, to combine voice and data traffic over
the same duplex fiber between company facilities.
Protocol and speed-independent; available in
standalone and modular versions
The WDM/2 and iMcV-WDM are two-channel, passive, protocol
and speed-independent Wavelength Division Multiplexers that allow
two individual wavelengths to share one fiber pair; Full-Duplex data
travels on 1310 nm and 1550 nm to virtually double the capacity of
installed fiber. Deploy WDM products in pairs so that the host site will
multiplex 1310 nm and 1550 nm onto the fiber and the remote site will
then separate the signals by the wavelength. Available in standalone
and modular versions, protocol-independent WDM products enable
the transmitting of any protocol and any speed over 1310 nm or 1550
nm single-mode fiber.
Supports a variety of protocols; easy installation
As passive, protocol-independent Wavelength Division Multiplexers,
WDM/2 and iMcV-WDM comply with a wide range of communications
protocols including Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), SONET/SDH
(OC-3, OC-12, OC-48), FDDI, ATM, ESCON, T1/E1, E3, DS3 and
Fibre Channel. Installing WDM products is easy — the standalone
WDM/2 chassis comes ready to install and iMcV-WDM modules slide
into any B&B Electronics iMediaChassis or MediaChassis/2. No
configuration is required for either version.
Features
Leverages investment on existing fiber infra-
structure
• Doubles the capacity of installed fiber by
transmitting two wavelengths on one strand of
fiber
Supports multiple protocols
• Speed and protocol-independent, supporting
1310 nm and 1550 nm single-mode fiber
Easy to install - no configuration
• Just slide the iMcV-WDM/2 into a chassis and
match the fiber connectors with the 1310 nm
and 1550 nm wavelengths
• WDM/2 chassis performs multiplexing with NO
outside power requirement
• Requires two slots in a chassis; modules are
double-wide
Maximizes network uptime
• Modular, hot-swappable architecture reduces
operational costs associated with product
installation, upgrades and maintenance
Application Example
Connect two fiber network segments using a
single strand.
