Driver chassis
Overview
Extending the capabilities of Wave Division Multiplexing systems, Fiber Driver™ CWDM Passive OADM modules
from MRV Communications can add or drop up to eight wavelengths at specific locations along a CWDM trunk. The
technology enables intelligent planning and flexible provisioning of optical services while simplifying the deployment
and maintenance of optical networks.
CWDM passive OADM modules are protocol-transparent, so their operation is invisible to both the network and the
users. With plug-n-play setup and a design that minimizes budget loss, it can readily and seamlessly integrate into an
existing network. The small form factor and power independence allows the module to deploy virtually anywhere.
CWDM passive OADM modules are available in single-sided (East orWest) and dual-sided (East andWest) configurations
supporting up to eight wavelengths. Each high-density, single-slot module can install in any Fiber Driver chassis. A
powered chassis is required only for managed applications.
Each Fiber Driver CWDM passive OADM uses wavelengths that fall within the ITU-T G.694.2 (2002) CWDM grid standard
from 1310 nm to 1610 nm with 20 nm spacing. (See the tables at the end of this datasheet for specific ordering
information.)
