DWDM SpectralWave 40/80 v.2

DWDM SpectralWave 40/80 v.2 bus system

The DWDM SpectralWave 40/80 system of the second generation is a part of a product family for the SpectralWave fiber-optic communication networks.

The SpectralWave 40/80 system supports operation at 40 optical wave lengths in C-Band or L-Band providing, in total, up to 80 wave lengths in C-Band and L-Band system.

The 8-wave system can use up to 8 wave length and represents a small-sized and cost-effective terminal system located on a single shelf. The 16-wave system can use up to 16 wave lengths. The same Shelf/Transponder packages operating as the SpectralWave 40/80 system are used in all systems.

Besides, application of transponders used in the equipment of the first generation and ROADM DW4200 is possible.

The SpectralWave 40/80 can operate as an “open system” or as an “integrated system”. The interface of the “open” system with SpectralWave 40/80 has a function of the wave length conversion executed by the transponder unit which allocates a signal at a precise length with a narrow spectrum required for wavelength-division multiplexing. Consequently, this system can transmit common optical signals coming from the client’s system which generates signals at less precisely determined wave length. If the client’s equipment represents the U-Node system delivered by FGUP EZAN, then the interface can be “integrated”; at that, the “colored” optical output signal from U-Node is connected directly to the optical multiplexor of SpectralWave 40/80 system, thank to which the transponder becomes unnecessary.
