SmartOptics Passive Multiplexers Optical Transceivers

C-Series Products

The C-series is an equivalent passive Mux/Demux and OADM portfolio to Cisco Systems second generation of passive CWDM devices. The modules multiplex and demultiplex optical CWDM wavelengths therefore increasing fiber capacity by a factor of 8. The C-series offers identical functional design but with improved performance and interoperability. Cisco's network design rules can be applied. They are fully compliant to ITU G.694.2 and ITU G.695. The modules are based on a standard LGX building practice and offer an easy installation and connection process. Two modules can be mounted into a 19" or 23" bracket. Wavelength colour coding is to industry practice and is in-line with CWDM devices from Cisco Systems.

The C-series consists of an 8 channel Mux/Demux module, two 4 channel Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (OADMs) and eight single-wavelength dual channel OADMs. Each module offers low insertion loss, optical monitoring ports tapping 2% of the optical light signals allowing live monitoring and troubleshooting of the CWDM signals, as well as the mixing of 1310 nm CWDM signals on the same fiber infrastructures.
