Gigabit Ethernet Fiber-to-Fiber CWDM Converters
CM-55W-XX – Gigabit Fiber-to-Fiber Converters with Single-mode ITU specified CWDM wavelengths
Canary’s CM-55W-XX series of Gigabit Coarse Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (CWDM) Media Converters provide an economical
way to convert multi-mode Gigabit data to CWDM wavelengths
for launch and transport through CWDM Multiplexers and provide
access to high capacity CWDM based networks. CM-55W-XX
CWDM converters function identically to units with standard fiber
connections. Standard multi-mode fiber connectors on CN-55W-
XX modules provide minimum transmission of 220+ meters over
62.5 µm fiber or 500+ meters over 50.0 µm fiber.

* NOTE 1: W-XX designates one of eighteen CWDM optical transmission wavelengths (λ) e.g. CM-55W-47 = 1470 ηm or CM-55W-61 = 1610 ηm transmission.
Please refer to the CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing Section for more information.
* NOTE 2: CM-55W-XX converter cards are available as card modules designed for Canary’s CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 Chassis models and as standalone units.
Please refer to the CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 Data Sheets or GFC-55W-XX CWDM Data Sheet for additional information.
** Reference optical specifications for standard multi-mode or single-mode fiber port connectors. Other table specifications for second (alternate) fiber port connector.
There are eighteen CWDM wavelengths (λs) specified. Eight standard wavelengths plus four O-band λs are useable over most standard single-mode fiber.
Canary offers products for the standard eight wavelengths plus four O-band λs: 1470, 1490, 1510, 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, 1610 ηm + 1290, 1310, 1330, 1350 ηm
Temperature Dependence of Active CWDM Transmitter Center Wavelengths ≤ 0.08 ηm per degree C
More versions of the CM-55W-XX series may be found on the Canary web site as they become available.
