Optical Multiplexers
DWDM, CWDM and WDM Modules
DigiLink Video Transport System
Artel’s DWDM, CWDM, and WDM modules create a comprehensive
set of optical multiplexing solutions for the DigiLink video transport
system. These modules, in conjunction with other DigiLink modules or
third party equipment, allow the creation of flexible, space and fiber
efficient optical networks.
Artel designed its optical multiplexing products to address the issue of space and fiber
constraints. For space efficiency, each module takes only one bay in a DigiLink chassis.
By using ITU standard filters and optics, multi-vendor, cost-effective, and fiber efficient
video and Ethernet can be created. Completely passive and designed with the latest
optical filters, Artel’s DWDM, CWDM, and WDM modules are extremely reliable,
cost-effective, and feature low insertion losses.
CWDM features
• Industry standard ITU G.694.2 wavelengths
• Optically multiplex up to 18 channels over a single fiber
• 4, 8, 10, and 18 channel options
• Multiple 4 channel options
DWDM features
• Industry standard ITU G.694.1 wavelengths
• Optically multiplex up to 40 channels on a single fiber
• 4,10, 20, and 40 channel options
• Interconnect modules to enable 40 channels in a single
1RU chassis
