Lantronix CWDM-xxxxxCR Mux/Demux User Guide Fiber Cable Handling & Installation Handling Fiber Cables Accurate and repeatable data transmissions require clean fiber-optic connections; therefore, inspect the ends of all connectors for dust or imperfections. To achieve the best possible performance, follow these guidelines: •...
See Figure 11. Figure 11: Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing Lantronix CWDM devices utilize thin-film filter technology. Since the CWDM devices are entirely passive, they can be used in conjunction with lower-cost, noncooled laser sources. These CWDM devices are available in two main configurations: Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (Mux/Demux) modules, and Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) modules.
Figure 12: Add/Drop Module CWDM Wavelength-specific Optical Transceivers Lantronix full line of media converters and switches can incorporate CWDM wavelengths with the addition of wavelength-specific small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers or traditional fixed optical ports. CWDM SFPs comply with ITU-T G.694.2 CWDM...
