The IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4 is a dual wide module that provides 4 channels of
CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing), an expansion port to allow
existing 1310sm fiber, in order to cascade additional units, and a network port. For
customers deploying high-end gigabit switches, the IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4can
provide the growing need for greater bandwidth on fiber. This Industrial Ethernet
module has an extended temperature of -40C to +85C.

Installing an iMcV-Module
The IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4 installs in IMC Networks’ iMediaChassis series or in any
MediaChassis/2. It occupies 2 slots as it is dual wide.
The IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4 can be installed in a 2 slot unmanaged chassis:
• IE-MediaChassis/2-AC
• IE-MediaChassis2-DC
• MediaChassis/2-AC
• MediaChassis/2-DC
• MuxDemuxChassis/2
NOTE
All modules are hot-swappable.
To install an IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4
1.
Remove the blank bracket covering the slot where the module is to be installed
by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.
Slide the IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4 into the chassis, via the cardguides, until the
2.
module is seated securely in the connector.
3.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
Save any “blanks” removed during installation for future use if the configuration
4.
requirements change.
5.
The MuxDemuxChassis/2 is a 2 slot chassis without a power supply, as the IEiMcV-MuxDemux/4 does not require power to function.

Network
Port
The IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4 allows 4 devices of differing wavelengths,
transmits the wavelengths along a single fiber, then separates the
wavelengths, enabling the fiber optic receivers to receive a signal of
the correct wavelength.
Port 5 is an expansion port to allow multiple IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4
to be daisy chained, or to carry a legacy 1310nm SM fiber link.
This port allows two IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4 to be connected back to
back there are no diagnostic LEDs for the IE-iMcV-MuxDemux/4.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines
Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by
particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance
degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules.
Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from
1.
a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose
problems in an installation.
Dust caps are installed at IMC Networks to ensure factory-clean optical devices.
2.
These protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting
the fiber cable to the device. Should it be necessary to disconnect the fiber
device, reinstall the protective dust caps.
Store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box
3.
so that when reinstalled they do not introduce any contamination to the optics.
4.
If you suspect that the optics have been contaminated, alternate between
blasting with clean, dry, compressed air and flushing with methanol to remove
particles of dirt.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damage to any product, add-in modules or
stand alone units, containing electronic components. Always observe the following
precautions when installing or handling these kinds of products
Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.
1.
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or component.
2.
If the wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact with the system unit
throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold
3.
connectors.
4.
After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD
pad or in a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone units over
any surface.
WARNING!
extremely susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage. Do not
handle these components directly unless you are a qualified service
technician and use tools and techniques that conform to accepted
industry practices.
