About the iMcV-WDM/2

p

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 IMC Networks iMediaChassis series
chassis or into a MediaChassis series.

Remove the blank brackets covering the slots where the module is to be

1.
installed, if present, by removing the screws on the outside edges of the bracket.
Slide the module into the chassis, via the card guides, until the module is seated

2.
securely in the connector.

3.

Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the captive screws. Save any
“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
launch

ower 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.

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.

After removal, always place the boards on a grounded, static-free surface, ESD

4.
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.
