Chapter 8: Optical multiplexers

The Avaya optical routing system supports high-speed data communications in Metropolitan Area
Networks (MAN) by connecting gigabit Ethernet ports with fiber optic networks, and by combining multiple
wavelengths on a single fiber to expand available bandwidth.
Use multiplexers in optical routing systems to multiplex, add, or drop wavelengths in optical networks.

Multiplexing equipment

An Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (OADM) adds or drops one wavelength to or from a fiber
carrying multiple wavelengths. An optical multiplexer adds or drops multiple wavelengths to or
from a fiber.
The following table shows supported OADMs and optical multiplexers (OMUX), and their
corresponding wavelengths of operation.

Installing the shelf

Mount the optical routing system (OADM or OMUX) in an optical shelf with connections at the
front of the module. For user access to these connections, you need a minimum clearance of
36 inches (90 cm). Keep the area as dust-free as possible.
