OADM-4w/TAP plug-in module is a passive optical add/drop multiplexer designed for
metro access applications that represents the state of the art in fiber optics design.
The OADM module adds and drops four CWDM wavelength channels from network
traffic and passes the other channels. These four-channel OADMs are transparent to
the 1310nm wavelength and include a monitor port to provide customers capability to
monitor and troubleshoot networks. Finisar's unique CWDM design maps the
channels into two-fiber paths, going in opposite directions into a network (east/west).
Added/dropped channels can be connected to any of Finisar's CWDM transceivers on
the equipment side. A grid of eight CWDM wavelengths is available from Finisar. The
OADM module plugs into one half of a 1RU, 19" rack mount chassis for simple
installation and modularity. This Chassis based system allows a network equipment
manufacturer to add WDM capability to any existing networks with simple pluggable
interface.
The equipment ports of the OADM-4w/TAP plug-in module are color coded to match
the wavelength of Finisar's CWDM transceiver to simplify installation and
troubleshooting without having to remove the transceivers from the local equipment.
This OADM module delivers dramatic cost savings to network equipment
manufacturers, enabling them to develop metro access systems that are lower in cost,
easier to provision and simpler to operate.
