The WaveReady™ Outside Plant Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer Optical Drop Module (OSP CWDM ODM) is a flexible, low-cost solution that enables capacity expansion of existing fiber. Coupled with highly reliable passive optics, which are certified for environmentally hardened applications, the OSP CWDM ODM allows carriers to make full use of the fiber’s available bandwidth in the local loop.
The OSP CWDM ODM is a universal device capable of bidirectional (on a single fiber) or unidirectional (on two fibers) transport applications. The device has been designed to support a broad range of architectures, ranging from scalable point-to-point links to two-fiber protected rings. The market-standard LGX packaging of the OSP CWDM ODM allows for ready deployment in existing LGX-compatible frames. Alternatively, the device can be adapted for use in WaveReady shelves.
The OSP CWDM ODM is designed to interoperate with both the WaveReady line of transponder and optical regenerator solutions as well as the CWDM transponders and SFPs used in widely available transmission equipment. With billions of field operating hours, JDSU’s industry-leading optical multiplexing technology offers unparalleled reliability and leading-edge performance.
