The WaveReady OFI demuxes a common 50 GHz 88-channel stream into two 100 GHz 44-channel streams offset by 50 GHz. It can also multiplex two channel streams onto a single fiber. A completely passive architecture, an athermal design facilitates rapid deployment with enhanced predicted stability and improved reliability. The module requires no power or external cooling cooling requirements, thereby reducing operational cost.
Deployed in conjunction with the industry proven WaveReady 44-channel passive Multiplexer/Demultiplexers (MDX-44MD1F1CB and MDX-44MD1N1CB), the WaveReady OFI enables a complete 88-channel DWDM solution, supporting 50GHz channel spacing, compatible with any data rate up 40 Gbps per channel.
Benefits
- Conserves or reclaims fiber using DWDM in order to alleviate capacity exhaust in fiber-constrained situations, prolonging the life cycle of existing investments.
- Lower first-in cost without limiting growth: easy upgradability to 88 channels per fiber.
- Simple to upgrade: easily add capacity without link re-engineering enabling rapid network changes in order to keep up with bandwidth and service demands.
- Scalable, doubling capacity of existing 44 channel systems in order to avoid costing equipment upgrades to higher line rates allowing operators to further exploit the continued improving economics of 10Gbps networking, as well as 40Gbps technology.
- Reduce operational costs, while improving reliability and network stability though an athermal design which requires no temperature control or power.
- Proven, leveraging the industry leading WaveReady 44 Channel mux/demux with built in test access ports.
Applications
- High density, 88 Channel DWDM networks. Ideal for connecting server clusters, data centers, switch/router interconnect, and any application where low latency, cost effective, high capacity data transport it required.
- Supports many physical topologies such as: Point-to-point multichannel in linear (bus) add/drop and hub-and-spoke ring architectures.
- 10Gbps /40Gbps line rate support extend the life of existing networks, and allows freedom of choice to implement the most appropriate solution for their requirements.
Key Features
- Low pass-through insertion loss for C-band channels
- Fits into standard LGX™-mounting solutions
