VAM (Value Added Modules) System

Monitor, Splitter, WDM & CWDM Modules & Chassis

One-stop-shop for complete optical transport system support requirements. The VAM System consists of a variety of chassis and value-added modules housing various optical components that fit into existing ADC fiber distribution frames and along with various other mounting environments.

VAM Modules

Provide optical monitoring, splitting or multiplexing/demultiplexing of optical signals. Monitoring enables providers to troubleshoot networks without forcing disruption of services. Splitting allows for the distribution of signals to multiple subscribers. WDM/CWDM technologies allow multiple wavelengths of light to travel together in a single strand of fiber.

Modules are available in these configurations:

•Monitor — save time trouble shooting non-intrusively; labeled and configured for monitoring applications

•Splitter — distribute signals to multiple subscribers; labeled and configured for splitting applications

•WDM — add more capacity to existing optical networks; allows multiple wavelengths on a single fiber

•CWDM — add even greater capacity with more granular splitting and combining options
