CWDM modules' applications

2017-08-27
Recently, some of our customers want to know more about the CWDM modules' applications. Here we share some of CWDM knowledge to you, hope these can be helpful for your business!

1. What is CWDM modules?
With the CWDM optical transceiver, different wavelength can be transmitted by only one core. And it's receiver can receive signal from 1270nm-1610nm.

2. Where is the CWDM modules can be used?
As the below picture, the CWDM modules can be used in kind of solutions.

3.What is the MUX/DEMUX?
A: We often transmit and receive information with optical fibers. Because the optical fiber can help us sharing the information fastly, saving time and improving efficiency.
On the other hand, it also needs to use lots of optical fibers, so in order to save optical fibers. We use MUX/DEMUX, it will help us concentrate the different wavelengths of information on one optical fiber.
Then spread them to the different switch when they need to be used.

4.How many channels can be used in CWDM MUX/DEMUX?
A: 18 channels, from 1270nm-1610nm.(1270nm, 1290nm, 1310nm, 1330nm, 1350nm, 1370nm, 1390nm,1410nm,1430nm, 1450nm, 1470nm, 1490nm,1510nm, 1530nm, 1550nm, 1570nm, 1590nm,1610nm.)
It includes forward wavelength(1270nm-1450nm, it's usually used to low rate, like 1.25G ), backward wavelength(1470nm-1610nm, it's usually used to high rate, like 2.5G, 10G)

5.How do they work together?
A:    
 MUX/DEMUX modules
The CWDM Modules were inserted into switches, and between the modules and MUX/DEMUX, they connect with patch cords. Because of the MUX/DEMUX, we can save lots of optical fibers.

6. What do you need in a normal solution?
a. Switches: More than 2. (Depends on what's the application you working for.)
b. CWDM Modules(Dual fiber): 16
c. MUX-DEMUX: 2
d. Patch cords: 32 & 1 testing patch cord(with an attenuator.)
e. Optical fiber: 1

Base on different applications, the solutions are different. It involved the switch type, MUX/DEMUX channel number, etc.

In a word, If you can tell us the project you are preparing(application), or where will the MUX/DEMUX(CWDM modules) be used, we can offer you the most suitable solution you need.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
