The 1U
Rack DWDM 8CH MUX/DEMUX (Without Card) is a high-performance, passive optical device
designed for dense wavelength division multiplexing
(DWDM) applications. It enables efficient multiplexing and demultiplexing of up to 8 DWDM channels onto a
single pair of optical fibers,
greatly increasing the bandwidth capacity of existing fiber infrastructure. Housed in a standard 1U 19-inch
rack-mount chassis, this unit is ideal for use
in telecom rooms, data centers, and enterprise networks. The "Without Card" configuration means it comes as a
passive module without a monitoring
card, fan, or power requirement—making it maintenance-free and highly reliable.
Key Features:
1. Form Factor: 1U 19-inch rack-mount enclosure
2. Channel Count: 8 DWDM channels (customizable ITU-T Grid, e.g., C21 to C28)
3. Type:
Passive MUX/DEMUX (no power or card required)
4. Connector Type: LC/UPC or LC/APC (customizable)
5. Fiber Type: Singlemode (G.652D or G.657A1)
6. Wavelength Spacing: 100GHz or 200GHz ITU-T DWDM Grid
7. Insertion Loss: ≤ 3.5 dB (typical)
8. Channel Isolation: ≥ 30 dB (adjacent), ≥ 40 dB (non-adjacent)
9. Return Loss: ≥ 45 dB
10. Operating Temperature: -5°C to +75°C
11. Storage Temperature: -40°C to +85°C
12. No power required (passive device)
Applications:
1. DWDM network expansion
2. Long-haul and metro fiber optic transmission
3. Enterprise and carrier-grade networks
4. Data center interconnect (DCI)
5. FTTx, backbone, and core networks
Advantages:
1. Boosts network capacity without installing additional
fiber
2. Completely passive—no power or active management
needed
3. Space-saving 1U rack-mount design
4. Compatible with all standard DWDM transceivers
5. Cost-effective solution for WDM deployment
