Description
DWDM Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) is a passive optical device used in WDM networks for adding and dropping one or multiple 100GHz DWDM channels in the C-band into one or two fibers, while letting the rest of the wavelengths bypass to the needed destination. DWDM technology effectively enhances WDM capabilities and extends the the optical signals transmission distance.
DWDM OADM modules are available in single-sided (East or West) and dual-sided (East and West) configurations. With matching Mux/Demux units placed at each end of an optical link, multiple data channels can be combined and transmitted over a single-mode fiber trunk. The passive OADM modules can add or drop up to 4 data channels at any point along the trunk. Different channels and wavelengths result in different bandwidth and capacity. You can choose the channels and wavelengths based on your transmission capacity and future expansion.
Arkoptics DWDM OADM are modular, scalable and are perfectly suited to 10/1G Ethernet, 16/8/4/2/1G FC, SDH/SONET, Video, CATV, FTTx applications.
Dual fiber DWDM OADM adds and drops optical signals of same wavelengths into two fibers, while letting the rest of the wavelengths bypass to the needed destination. The DWDM transceiver connected to DWDM OADM should have the same wavelength as the client port.
The dual-sided OADM removes one channel from the network in one direction and sends it to a local interface in one direction. It also allows a second local port to add the same channel back onto the network fiber in the opposite direction.
In single fiber applications, DWDM OADM adds and drops optical signals of different wavelengths into a fiber in the opposite direction. It utilizes a single fiber for both adding and dropping, which reduces overall costs, and increases the capacity of the fiber.
The single-sided OADM removes one channel from the network in one direction and sends it to a local interface. The remaining channels are passed straight through to other nodes along the network.
