3.1WWDM Application

WWDM (widely spaced wavelength division multiplexer) models multiplex and demultiplex wavelengths in the 1310nm, 1480nm, and 1550nm windows, and are protocol, speed, and line code transparent. Each 6002/3/4 model is unidirectional (meaning that light travels in only one direction on a fiber line) and transmits signals through a composite pair of single mode fibers.

Customer devices transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) channel-to-channel signals through the local WWDM. Optical signals are received and demultiplexed with isolation levels that minimize channel crosstalk.

Note: The 6002/3/4 rack mount models used in a chassis configuration contain EEPROM’s for identification and management purposes. The stand alone models are non-powered units, which have no user configurable switches and require no special jumpers.

For the correct fiber optic cable application see the WWDM Installation Diagram in Figure 4.

Note: All optical connections must be cabled using the Tx to Rx and Rx to Tx scheme.

Important: Do not over tighten FC/PC connectors or damage may occur.
