The WaveReady™ Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Optical Add/Drop Module (OADM) splice packs are part of a family of flexible, low-cost solutions that expand the capacity of existing fiber. Through the use of CWDM technology, individual channels can be optically added or dropped from a fiber pair while allowing 1310 nm pass-through traffic to continue unobstructed through the bus or ring.
CWDM OADM bidirectional splice packs provide both east and west add/drop functionality and are readily deployed in existing outside plant splice enclosures in combination with WaveReady CWDM Mux/Demux products at the headend. They provide ample room for fiber management and splice holders.
CWDM OADM bidirectional splice packs interoperate with both the WaveReady line of transponder and optical regenerator solutions as well as ITU G.694.2-compliant small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers and transponder cards widely used in transmission equipment.
With countless hours of continual field operation, industry-leading JDSU optical multiplexing technology offers unparalleled reliability and leading-edge performance.
