NOTE: The iConverter CWDM/X modules can not be installed in slots 4, 8, 12 and 16 of a 19-Module Chassis or in the top slot of a 2-Module Chassis or in a 1-Module Redundant Power Chassis.

NOTE: The iConverter 8-Channel Double-Wide CWDM/X can only be installed in a 2-Module Chassis or 19-Module Chassis with the exception of slots 4/5, 8/9, 12/13 and 16/17.

Design Considerations

iConverter CWDM/X modules are passive devices that require no external power. Attenuation (signal loss) of less than 2.7dB will be realized through each port on the module (see the CWDM/X Data Sheet for exact loss specification for each model). Detailed calculations should be performed for each fiber optic link in the network to ensure the proper optical devices are specified with sufficient transmitter power.

When calculating optical loss, ensure that the total loss, plus a safety factor (typically 3dB) does not exceed the optical power budget. The optical power budget is the difference between the transmitter optical output power and the receiver’s optical sensitivity. The transmitter optical output power and receiver optical sensitivity values can be obtained from the manufacturers of the respective equipment. Please consult

the iConverter data sheets for CWDM/X signal loss specifications.
