of the model selected will be dropped to the appropriate Channel Port. Common
Port Left drops and adds wavelength traffic from Channel Port Left and Common
Port Right drops and adds wavelength traffic from Channel Port Right.
Installation
1. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in an iConverter chassis. Align
the module with the installation guides and ensure that the module is firmly
seated against the backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel
thumbscrew (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front. The
CWDM/AD module requires no external power, however, if management is
required, the module must be installed in an iConverter powered chassis with a
Network Management Module (NMM2 Model 8000N-0) or a M2 series or higher
module (such as the iConverter 10/100M2, GM3 or GM4).
2. Connect a single-mode, dual fiber duplex LC cable between the Channel Port
of the CWDM/AD module and the attached device. It is important to ensure
that the wavelength of the CWDM/AD matches the wavelength of the attached
device. Connect both Channel Ports in this manner. Ensure that the transmit
(Tx) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end, and the
receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side.
3. Connect a single-mode, single-fiber simplex LC cable between the Common
Ports on the CWDM/AD modules (this connection may be made through fiber
patch panels since the modules may not be co-located) or CWDM/X module.
Make sure the Left/Right designation is followed.
NOTE: For proper installation, a network diagram indicating port designations is
recommended.
NOTE: The iConverter CWDM/AD modules cannot 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.
Design Considerations
Attenuation (signal loss) of less than 1.9dB will be realized through each port on
the module (see the CWDM/AD Data Sheet for exact attenuation specifications for
model used). Detailed calculations should be performed for each fiber optic link in
the network to ensure the CWDM transceiver has sufficient transmit power.
When calculating optical loss, ensure that the total attenuation, plus a safety factor
(typically 3dB), does not exceed the optical power budget of the transceiver. 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.
