iConverter CWDM/X 4 and 8 Channel MUX/DEMUX
USER MANUAL
Product Overview
Omnitron’s iConverter CWDM/X Coarse Wave
Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Multiplexer/
Demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) modules support
ITU-T G.694.2 wavelengths between 1270nm
to 1610nm in 20nm increments. Up to sixteen
separate wavelengths can be transported over
a dual ber common link.
The iConverter CWDM/X modules are available in 4 and 8-Channel models,
supporting a variety of wavelengths and optional port congurations.
Port Denitions

Figure 2: Port Locations for 8-Channel Single-Wide CWDM/X Module
NOTE: The
iConverter CWDM/X modules can not be installed in slots 4, 8, 12 and
16 of a 19-Module Chassis or in the top slot of a 2-Module Chassis or in a 1-Module
Redundant Power Chassis.
NOTE: The iConverter 8-Channel Double-Wide CWDM/X can only be installed
in a 2-Module Chassis or 19-Module Chassis with the exception of slots 4/5, 8/9,
12/13 and 16/17.
Design Considerations
iConverter CWDM/X modules are passive devices that require no external power.
Attenuation (signal loss) of less than 2.7dB will be realized through each port on the
module (see the CWDM/X Data Sheet for exact loss specication for each model).
Detailed calculations should be performed for each ber optic link in the network to
ensure the proper optical devices are specied with sufcient transmitter power.
When calculating optical loss, ensure that the total loss, plus a safety factor (typically
3dB) does not exceed the optical power budget. The optical power budget is the
difference between the transmitter optical output power and the receiver’s optical
sensitivity. The transmitter optical output power and receiver optical sensitivity values
can be obtained from the manufacturers of the respective equipment. Please consult
the iConverter data sheets for CWDM/X signal loss specications.
