One-stop-shop for complete optical transport system support requirements.
The VAM System consists of a variety of chassis and value-added modules
housing various optical components that fit into existing ADC fiber distribution
frames and along with various other mounting environments.
VAM Modules
Provide optical monitoring, splitting or multiplexing/demultiplexing of optical
signals. Monitoring enables providers to troubleshoot networks without forcing
disruption of services. Splitting allows for the distribution of signals to multiple
subscribers. WDM/CWDM technologies allow multiple wavelengths of light to
travel together in a single strand of fiber.
Modules are available in these configurations:
• Monitor — save time trouble shooting non-intrusively; labeled and
configured for monitoring applications
• Splitter — distribute signals to multiple subscribers; labeled and configured
for splitting applications
• WDM — add more capacity to existing optical networks; allows multiple
wavelengths on a single fiber
• CWDM — add even greater capacity with more granular splitting and
combining options
