FOBER WDM (FWMD 3 Channel MUX) – Compact and Efficient Fiber Multiplexing Solution
The FOBER WDM (FWMD 3 Channel MUX) is a high-quality, compact, and efficient fiber optic multiplexer that enables the transmission of multiple data streams over a single fiber by combining three wavelength channels. Designed to maximize the capacity of fiber networks without increasing infrastructure costs, this device is a perfect solution for telecom providers, ISPs, data centers, and enterprise networks seeking a reliable and scalable connectivity solution.
Using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, the FWMD 3 Channel MUX offers a passive, energy-efficient method to expand bandwidth and optimize fiber usage, especially in applications where fiber availability is limited.
Key Features
Supports 3 Wavelength Channels
This multiplexer supports three standard CWDM wavelengths (typically in the range of 1270nm–1610nm, spaced by 20nm). Each wavelength can carry separate data streams, enabling users to transmit three services or signals through a single optical fiber.
Compact and Lightweight Design
The FWMD 3 Channel MUX is designed with space efficiency in mind. It is available in ABS box, LGX module, or rack-mount format, depending on your deployment needs. Its small footprint allows it to fit into tight spaces like wall-mount boxes and small enclosures.
Passive and Maintenance-Free Operation
As a passive optical component, it requires no external power source, reducing both operational complexity and long-term maintenance costs. It operates continuously and reliably, with no risk of power-related failures.
Low Insertion Loss and High Isolation
The FOBER FWMD MUX is engineered to provide low insertion loss (typically ≤1.2 dB) and high channel isolation (≥30 dB), ensuring clear signal transmission with minimal interference or degradation between channels.
High-Quality Build for Long-Term Reliability
Made with high-grade materials and optical components, the multiplexer is designed to withstand environmental fluctuations and physical stress. It operates effectively across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
