2.2.6 Transponder, Muxponder, and Optical Cards
For DWDM system interoperability, the operating center frequency (wavelength) of channels must be
the same at the transmitting and receivingends. Channel selection (center frequency) and channel width
determine the number of nonoverlappingchannels in the spectrum. Channel width, wavelength, bit rate,
fiber type, and fiber length determine the amount of dispersion. Channel separation allows for a
frequencydeviation of approximately 2 GHz, caused by frequency drifts in the laser, filter, and amplifier
devices to avoid interchannel interference.
The ITU-T currently recommends 81 channels in the C band, starting from 1528.77 nm and
incrementing in multiples of 50 GHz to 1560.61 nm.
All C-band TXP and MXP cards support a range of wavelengthsin increments of 100 GHz,as shown in
Table2-29.
