Optical multiplexer/demultiplexer description

The passive CWDM OMUX sends and receives signals to/from CWDM GBIC transceivers installed in the switch. It multiplexes and demultiplexes four or eight CWDM wavelengths from a two-fiber (east and west) circuit. It allows you to create uni-directional network traffic rings or point-to-point links.

The CWDM OMUX (Figure 6) is installed in a 19-inch, rack-mounted 1RU optical shelf (Figure 15).
