Wavelength Division Multiplexers and Optical Splitters
The ViaLite range of wavelength division multiplexing products allows protocol-transparent combination and separation of multiple fiber optic channels. The technology enables flexible and efficient planning of optical networks for satellite, broadcast, instrumentation and signal distribution.
Using either the WDM or CWDM options it is possible to combine 2, 4 or 8 separate signals onto a single fiber. This technology offers particular benefits when installing new channel capacity into a pre-existing fiber network with a fixed number of fiber cores in the backbone.
Products are available from 1310nm/1550nm WDM duplexers up to ITU-T G.694.2 compliant 8-channel CWDM multiplexers and demultiplexers. High-isolation variants are available which feature exceptional adjacent optical channel isolation and are specifically designed to complement the ViaLite wide dynamic range inter-facility fiber optic transmitters and receivers.
The 2 channel WDM duplexers are available in either pigtail or plug-in module format allowing OEM’s to build them into larger systems or to be rack mounted in a ViaLite chassis with other ViaLite modules. The 4 and 8 channel CWDM systems are available in compact 1U high 19 inch rack format.
ViaLite offers passive optical splitting components to divide the optical power across two or more optical ports. The power split ratio can vary from 1% (known as a tap-coupler) for service monitoring applications, to 50% or more for service distribution to multi receive sites. Reliability is assured through compliance to Telcordia GR-1221. ViaLite offer 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8 optical splitters in either 7HP wide plug in modules for rack mounting or 1U high 19” racks.
