General Overview

1.1Overview

EdgeAccess® Models 6002, 6003, 6004 (6002/3/4) are passive, unidirectional Widely spaced Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WWDM) that fit into the EdgeAccess Universal Chassis System (UCS), or a stand alone enclosure. The WWDM multiplexes (MUX) two to four optical signals onto a single composite signal for transmission to a remote location. Additionally, it demultiplexes (DEMUX) the composite signals back to their constituent wavelengths at a level that is acceptable to minimize data channel crosstalk.

Model 6002/3/4 devices efficiently combine wavelengths in the 1310nm, 1480nm, and 1550nm optical windows together over a single mode fiber. The signals are then optically separated (demultiplexed) at the remote end. Each model is protocol, speed, and line code transparent.

The 6002/3/4 models are configured in two, three, and four channel wavelength applications.

Stand alone model – Model 6002 non-managed, non-powered stand alone module can be included in a variety of environments. See Figure 2 for the Model 6000 series of stand alone devices.

Rack mount models – Models 6002, 6003, 6004, management aware, non-powered modules can become part of the UCS (Universal Chassis System). Figures 1 and 3 show the 6002 and 6004 modules. The 6003 model is similar in design, but not shown.
