Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) incorporates multiple light wavelengths to transmit and-or receive signals over a single optical fiber. DWDM is a very efficient component of optical networks because it maximizes the use of existing fiber cable and allows new services to added.

  1. General Details

    More Bandwidth over a Strand of Fiber Optic cable

    Maxcom Muxes and DeMuxes are a high density, ultra-low loss and standalone passive optical devices. They are configured for up to forty 100GHz spaced channels in a 1U package, maximizing the capacity of the C-band range.
    Multiplexer products combine multiple data signals (wavelengths) for transport over one fiber. De-multiplexers separate the signal at the other end. To manage bandwidth and expand capacity of existing fiber optic backbones, Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) works by simultaneously combining and transmitting multiple signals at different wavelengths through the same fiber in either direction. WDM-based networks can carry different types of traffic at different speeds. The MUX/DEMUX is deployed in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). The device is passive when it comes to electricity and measures as 1RU 19” device. The device comes with optional LC/UPC, LC/APC and some models are available with SC connectors. The MUX devices are available 8, 16, and 40 channels. Custom versions are available upon request.
    Muxes are available in Single Fiber versions (Mux or Demux)
    and Dual Fiber (Built in Mux and Demux)
