1 Product overview
The Flashlink CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system is based on alloptical modules for multiplexing and demultiplexing 8 CWDM wavelengths according to ITUT G.694.2. Two sets of wavelengths, one from 1470 to 1610nm (1-8) and one from 1270 to
1410nm with an upgrade port. By use of the upgrade port, up to 16 optical signals can be run
over a single fiber. The units are passive and all-optical devices, requiring no power supply
or control. Any number of channels can be used to transport signals in one direction with the
rest of the channels transporting signals in the other direction. The units can be cascaded
through the upgrade ports in the 9-16 module.
