Product Uses

The CWDM active wavelength division multiplexer is widely used in the following scenarios:

1. Data Center Interconnect (DCI)

Multi-channel high-bandwidth service intercommunication is achieved through a single optical fiber, which is suitable for primary and backup data centers or city-level cross-park data synchronization.

2. Enterprise network bandwidth expansion

Enterprise parks can carry multiple services such as voice, video, data, etc. through different wavelengths on the basis of the original optical cable to improve bandwidth utilization.

3. MAN construction

Used in the core layer or aggregation layer of the metropolitan area network to achieve efficient aggregation and transmission of multiple services and reduce physical link investment.

4. Operator access network optimization

Applicable to access solutions such as FTTB/FTTX, providing high-quality, high-bandwidth services for multiple users and reducing the duplication of access layer resources.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between the CWDM active fiber multiplexer and the passive version?

A: The active CWDM multiplexer has a built-in amplifier module, which is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for transmission distance and link loss; while the passive device does not provide amplification function and is suitable for short-distance, point-to-point basic applications.

Q2: What is the maximum transmission distance supported by the device?

A: With the assistance of active amplification, the system transmission distance can reach 60\~120km, depending on the optical module transmission power, link loss and usage environment.

Q3: Does it support hot swapping or online maintenance?

A: Some modular designs support hot-swap functions, which is convenient for maintenance and system upgrades. Please confirm the selected specifications when placing an order.

Q4: What types of optical modules are compatible?

A: The device is compatible with SFP/SFP+/XFP and other modules with CWDM wavelengths, and supports 1G/10G/40G rates. The matching modules are configured according to application requirements.

Q5: Does it support monitoring and management?

A: Some models support network management functions (such as SNMP), which can realize remote management functions such as power monitoring and link alarms for each channel.
