LightGAIN L-040 4 Channel DWDM Cassette

The LightGAIN L-040 Mux and L-040 DeMux cassettes are passive 4 channel DWDM modules that are designed to mount in Optelian’s CMS line of mounting solutions and are compliant with Lucent’s LGX® industry standards. Installation is quick and effortless. Each cassette has 6 optical ports with SC/PC connectors: Ports 1-4 for four ITU wavelengths, a common (COM) port, and a Monitor (MON) port. Each port is labeled with its ITU wavelength and corresponding port number.

The L-040 Mux and DeMux cassettes are normally deployed in pairs. The L-040 Mux cassette, at the ‘near-end’ of a transmission link, combines 4 ITU wavelengths from Ports 1 to 4 onto a single common fiber. At the ‘far-end’ of the same link, the L-040 DeMux cassette separates the original wavelengths from the common fiber and presents them to their respective terminal equipment. The L-040 Mux and DeMux cassettes can be used in both uni-directional and bi-directional applications. At each end of the link, 5% of the common optical signal is tapped off for monitoring purposes and presented on the MON port.

The L-040 Mux and DeMux cassettes, operating together, have been designed to minimize end-to-end insertion loss at or below 4.3 dB.
