Multiplexer and Demultiplexer Modules

TheCisco Metro 1500 series system uses DWDM technology to convert channels

of optical communication into separate wavelengths of the ITU-T grid. The

multiplexer (MUX) module combines several optical signals into a combined

signal for transportation using one single-mode fiber.The demultiplexer (DMX)

module receivesthe combined signal from the MUX at the remote end of the link.

In the DMX, the combined optical signal is separated and fed into eight different

fibers. These signals are then transferred to the WCMs for reconversion into the

customer’s application signal. Figure 1-10 shows the locations of the MUX and

DMX in the chassis.
