FOBER WDM (CWDM 8 Channel MUX) – High-Performance Fiber Multiplexing Solution
The FOBER WDM CWDM 8 CHANNEL MUX is a powerful and space-efficient solution designed to optimize fiber optic bandwidth by combining multiple wavelength channels onto a single optical fiber. Built using advanced Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology, this device allows telecom operators, ISPs, and data centers to transmit up to 8 separate data channels simultaneously, improving overall network efficiency while minimizing infrastructure costs.
This device is an essential component in high-capacity optical transmission systems where fiber resource utilization and cost control are top priorities. With FOBER’s trusted engineering and precision performance, the CWDM 8 Channel MUX ensures minimal insertion loss, low crosstalk, and long-term reliability.
Key Features
Supports 8 CWDM Channels
The MUX supports up to 8 ITU-standard CWDM wavelengths ranging from 1270nm to 1610nm (typically in 20nm intervals). It enables simultaneous transmission of 8 different signals through a single optical fiber, effectively expanding the capacity of existing infrastructure.
Passive & Maintenance-Free
Being a passive device, the CWDM MUX requires no external power source. It ensures uninterrupted service with zero power consumption, reducing maintenance and operational expenses over time.
Low Insertion Loss
Engineered with high-precision optical components, the FOBER CWDM MUX offers very low insertion loss (typically <1.5dB), ensuring that transmitted signals maintain strength and quality over long distances.
Compact Design for Easy Integration
Housed in a standard rack-mount or LGX cassette form factor (based on model), this MUX easily fits into telecom cabinets, ODFs, and networking enclosures, making it suitable for dense installations.
Excellent Channel Isolation
The device is built with high channel isolation (typically ≥30dB) to prevent interference between adjacent wavelengths. This feature is critical for maintaining high-speed, error-free communication across all channels.
Reliable and Robust Build Quality
The device is constructed with rugged materials that resist environmental changes and mechanical impact. It operates effectively across a wide temperature range (-5°C to 75°C), making it ideal for indoor and semi-outdoor applications.
