Edge Optical DCMD-8HE, 8 Channels Double Fiber Expandable Passive CWDM Mux/Demux

Get more from your existing fiber infrastructure with the Edge Optical DCMD-8HE, an 8-Channel CWDM MUX/DEMUX Unit designed to combine and separate multiple optical channels over double fiber. It supports 8 data streams and 8 optical channels across 1471-1611nm wavelengths, with 20 nm channel spacing. The passive design helps you expand optical network capacity without adding active electronics to the signal path. With an LGX cassette package, LC/UPC connectors, and low 1.5 dB insertion loss, this CWDM MUX/DEMUX provides a compact solution for optical network expansion.

Edge Optical DCMD-8HE 8-Channel CWDM MUX/DEMUX Unit

When your fiber network needs additional capacity, installing more fiber can increase infrastructure requirements and costs. The Edge Optical DCMD-8HE helps you use available fiber more efficiently by carrying 8 optical channels through CWDM technology. Its CCWDM filter technology uses Compact CWDM and Free Space Technology for channel multiplexing and demultiplexing. The unit provides 20 nm channel spacing with a ±6.5 nm passband around the center wavelength. A 1% monitoring port is also included, giving you an option for optical signal monitoring. The passive design and LGX cassette package make it suitable for organized optical network installations where space and simple deployment matter.

Benefits

• Expands fiber capacity: Supports 8 optical channels so you can carry more services over existing fiber infrastructure.

• Low insertion loss: 1.5 dB insertion loss helps limit optical signal loss across the CWDM unit.

• Simple passive operation: The passive design does not require active signal processing for channel multiplexing and demultiplexing.

• Easy network monitoring: The 1% monitoring port provides a dedicated option for checking optical signals.

• Compact installation: The LGX cassette package provides a practical form factor for organized fiber network deployments.

Usages

The Edge Optical DCMD-8HE can be used in CWDM optical networks where multiple wavelengths need to share the same fiber infrastructure. It is suitable for telecom networks, data communication links, and optical network expansion applications. You can use it to combine 8 CWDM channels at the transmission side and separate them at the receiving side. The 1471-1611nm wavelength range and LC/UPC connectors make it suitable for compatible single-mode optical network equipment and installations.
