Overview
The Fiber Driver Passive MUX/DeMUX modules and cables deliver the benefits of a Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer (CWDM) in a
fully passive solution. With matching units placed at each end of an optical link, up to sixteen full-duplex wavelengths can combine
and transmit over a single fiber trunk.
Passive MUX/DeMUX module operation is independent of protocol and topology, so it is transparent to both the network and the
end user. With plug-n-play setup and a design that minimizes budget loss, it seamlessly integrates into an existing environment. The
small form factor and power independence allows deployment almost anywhere.
A direct benefit of the Fiber Driver Passive MUX/DeMUX modules is in optimizing use of the existing fiber plant with far less time and
expense than installing additional fiber. They increase network capacity while allowing for greater deployment flexibility because
data wavelengths can be added or changed as needed.
The Fiber Driver Passive MUX/DeMUX modules are available with 2, 4, 8, or 16 independent wavelengths. Each single-slot high-
density module installs in any Fiber Driver chassis. A powered chassis is required only for managed applications.
The Passive MUX/DeMUX cables pass using separate wavelengths: 1550 nm and 1590 nm. They simply connect between the
transceiver of each network device and its matching single-mode fiber link.
