WDM/2 Series
With WDM products, service providers and
enterprise network managers can easily double
fiber capacity and integrate multiple protocols.
Product Overview
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that enables
the transmitting of multiple, optical signals on different wavelengths
over one strand of fiber. The series is designed for installations where
fiber is limited in terms of availability. Service providers and enterprise
network managers can easily double their fiber capacity without incurring
the costs associated with installing new fiber. Campus area network
managers can deploy the IMC Networks WDM solution, for example,
to combine voice and data traffic over the same duplex fiber between
company facilities.
Protocol and speed-independent; available in
standalone and modular versions
The WDM/2 and iMcV-WDM are two-channel, passive, protocol and
speed-independent Wavelength Division Multiplexers that allow two
individual wavelengths to share one fiber pair; Full-Duplex data travels
on 1310 nm and 1550 nm to virtually double the capacity of installed
fiber. Deploy WDM products in pairs so that the host site will multiplex
1310 nm and 1550 nm onto the fiber and the remote site will then
separate the signals by the wavelength. Available in standalone and
modular versions, protocol-independent WDM products enable the
transmitting of any protocol and any speed over 1310 nm or 1550 nm
single-mode fiber.
Supports a variety of protocols; easy installation
As passive, protocol-independent Wavelength Division Multiplexers,
WDM/2 and iMcV-WDM comply with a wide range of communications
protocols including Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), SONET/SDH
(OC-3, OC-12, OC-48), FDDI, ATM, ESCON, T1/E1, E3, DS3 and Fibre
Channel. Installing WDM products is easy — the standalone WDM/2
chassis comes ready to install and iMcV-WDM modules slide into any
IMC Networks iMediaChassis or MediaChassis/2. No configuration is
required for either version.
Features
Leverages investment on existing fiber infra-
structure
• Doubles the capacity of installed fiber by
transmitting two wavelengths on one strand of
fiber
Supports multiple protocols
• Speed and protocol-independent, supporting
1310 nm and 1550 nm single-mode fiber
Easy to install - no configuration
• Just slide the iMcV-WDM/2 into a chassis and
match the fiber connectors with the 1310 nm
and 1550 nm wavelengths
• WDM/2 chassis performs multiplexing with NO
outside power requirement
• Requires two slots in a chassis; modules are
double-wide
Maximizes network uptime
• Modular, hot-swappable architecture reduces
operational costs associated with product
installation, upgrades and maintenance
