Omnitron Systems Technology CWDM-X, MUX-DEMUX User Manual

NOTE: The

iConverter CWDM/X modules can not be installed in slots 4, 8, 12 and

16 of a 19-Module Chassis or in the top slot of a 2-Module Chassis or in a 1-Module Redundant Power Chassis.

NOTE: The iConverter 8-Channel Double-Wide CWDM/X can only be installed in a 2-Module Chassis or 19-Module Chassis with the exception of slots 4/5, 8/9, 12/13 and 16/17.

Design Considerations

iConverter CWDM/X modules are passive devices that require no external power.

Attenuation (signal loss) of less than 2.7dB will be realized through each port on the

module (see the CWDM/X Data Sheet for exact loss specication for each model). Detailed calculations should be performed for each ber optic link in the network to ensure the proper optical devices are specied with sufcient transmitter power.

When calculating optical loss, ensure that the total loss, plus a safety factor (typically 3dB) does not exceed the optical power budget. The optical power budget is the difference between the transmitter optical output power and the receiver’s optical sensitivity. The transmitter optical output power and receiver optical sensitivity values can be obtained from the manufacturers of the respective equipment. Please consult the iConverter data sheets for CWDM/X signal loss specications.

iConverter CWDM/X 4 and 8 Channel MUX/DEMUX

USER MANUAL

Product Overview

Omnitron’s iConverter CWDM/X Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Multiplexer/ Demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) modules support ITU-T G.694.2 wavelengths between 1270nm to 1610nm in 20nm increments. Up to sixteen separate wavelengths can be transported over

a dual ber common link.

The iConverter CWDM/X modules are available in 4 and 8-Channel models,

supporting a variety of wavelengths and optional port congurations.

Channel Port

The Channel Ports transmit and receive signals on specic CWDM wavelengths. The

Channel Ports are multiplexed onto and demultiplexed from the Common Port.

Common Port

The Common Port (COM) transmits and receives the aggregated wavelengths connected to the Channel, Expansion and 1310 Pass Band Ports.

1310 Pass Band Port

The 1310 Pass Band Port (1310PB) allows a legacy 1310nm signal to pass through the CWDM/X module on a reserved band (1260nm to 1360nm). The port can be

used to combine an existing legacy 1310nm network with up to 8 CWDM channels,

allowing the CWDM channels in the range of 1470nm to 1610nm to be overlaid

on the same ber pair as the existing 1310nm network. Figure 4 illustrates two

CWDM/X modules with the 1310 Pass Band Port option.

Figure 4: 4-Channel MUX/DEMUX

The Expansion Port on the 8863-2 can also be used as a 1310nm pass band to

Page 2

transport legacy 1310nm single-mode trafc.

Expansion Port

The Expansion Port (EXP) enables the cascading of two CWDM/X modules as shown in Figure 5, supporting a variety of cascading combinations (4+4, 8+4, 8+8). The

Expansion Port on model 8862-2 can be used as a 1550nm pass band port. On models 8860-2 and 8860-3, the Expansion Port can also be used as a 1550nm Pass

Band Port to transport legacy 1550nm single-mode trafc as long as the spectral width of the1550nm legacy network is between 1510 and 1570nm .

Both the 4 and 8-Channel CWDM/X modules are available with an optional Expansion Port.

Installation

1. Carefully slide the module into an open slot in an iConverter chassis. Align

the module with the installation guides and ensure that the module is rmly seated against the backplane. Secure the module by fastening the front panel thumbscrew(s) (push in and turn clockwise to tighten) to the chassis front.

The CWDM/X module requires no external power, however, if management is required, the module must be installed in an iConverter powered chassis with a

Network Management Module (NMM2 Model 8000N-1).

2. Connect a single-mode, dual ber duplex LC cable between the Channel Port of

the CWDM/X module and the attached device. It is important to ensure that the wavelength of the CWDM/X matches the wavelength of the attached device. Connect all Channel Ports in this manner. Ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end, and the receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side.

3. Connect a single-mode, dual ber duplex LC cable between the Common Ports on the CWDM/X modules (this connection may be made through ber patch

panels since the modules may not be co-located). Ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end, and the receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side.

4. When cascading two 4 or 8-Channel CWDM/X modules, connect a single-

mode, dual ber duplex LC cable between the Common Port on one CWDM/X

module and the Expansion Port on the other CWDM/X module (see Figure 5). Ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end, and the receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side.

5. When overlaying a CWDM channel on an existing 1310nm legacy network, connect the single-mode, dual ber duplex LC cable from the legacy network

to the 1310 Pass Band Port on the CWDM/X module. Ensure that the transmit (Tx) is attached to the receive side of the device at the other end, and the receive (Rx) is attached to the transmit side.
