About the iMcV-WDM/2
The iMcV-WDM/2 module is a passive two-channel protocol and speed
independent Wave Division Multiplexer which allows two individual wavelengths
to share one fiber — Full-Duplex data travels on 1310nm and 1550nm — virtually
doubling the capacity of the installed fiber. Suited for installations where fiber is
limited in terms of availability and/or distance, service providers and network
managers can easily double their fiber capacity without incurring the costs
associated with installing new fiber.
As a protocol independent device supporting all popular communication
protocols, the iMcV-WDM/2 module helps service providers and network
managers simplify network administration. Enterprise and campus area network
administrators can, for example, deploy the iMcV-WDM/2 solution to combine
both voice and data traffic over the same duplex fiber between related facilities.
Installing the iMcV-WDM/2
The iMcV-WDM/2 may be installed in any B&B Electronics iMediaChassis series
chassis or into a MediaChassis series.
1.
Remove the blank brackets covering the slots where the module is to be
installed, if present, by removing the screws on the outside edges of the
bracket.
2.
Slide the module into the chassis, via the card guides, until the module is
seated securely in the connector.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screws. Save any
3.
“blanks” removed during installation for future use should your configuration
requirements change.
Connecting the iMcV-WDM/2
iMcV-WDM/2 takes two devices of differing wavelengths, transmits the
wavelengths along a single strand of fiber, then separates the wavelengths,
enabling the fiber optic receivers to receive a signal of the correct wavelength.
When connecting devices to the iMcV-WDM/2, make sure that:
the wavelengths of each device connected to iMcV-WDM/2 correspond to
each other and iMcV-WDM/2 and that
the fiber transmitters are connected to the fiber receivers.
NOTE
This product has a minimum isolation factor of 17db. This means the difference in
1
launch power between any two inputs to the product should not exceed 17db. In
an application where the isolation factor might exceed 17db, it is recommended
that attentuators be used, in series, with relationship to the stronger input.
The diagram below illustrates the route that data will take according to the above
guidelines. Another path in the opposite direction is needed to complete this
installation.

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
1.
from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-todiagnose problems in an installation.
2.
Dust caps are installed at B&B Electronics to ensure factory-clean optical
devices. 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
3.
box 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
1.
Do not remove unit from its protective packaging until ready to install.
2.
Wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling any module or
component. If the wrist strap is not available, maintain grounded contact
with the system unit throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
3.
Hold the units by the edges; do not touch the electronic components or gold
connectors.
After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface,
4.
ESD pad or in a proper ESD bag. Do not slide the modules or stand alone
units over any surface.
WARNING!
Integrated circuits and fiber optic components are
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.
