Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing for the Viper II

Multiplies your fiber capacity by up to 8x

Get Datasheet
Telecast's CW-series of optical multiplexers enable you to transmit incredible amounts of information on a single optical fiber. Using a robust form of optical multiplexing known as coarse wavelength-division multiplexing, or CWDM, we now are able to send up to eight independent laser signals on one fiber.

Intuitive and Flexible

CWDM 4 8CardThe CW mux/demux set is available as rack mount modules to fit our Viper II 16-slot frame. Telecast's CW- modules come in 4-channel and 8-channel versions. Use the multiplexer module at the transmit end, and the demultiplexer at the receive end. For bi-directional transmission, use the demultiplexer module at both ends.
