Nortel CWDM OMUX-8

CWDM GBICs are transceivers that link Gigabit Ethernet ports with fiber optic networks. WDM technology consolidates multiple optical channels on a common optical fiber, using specific wavelengths to expand available bandwidth. CWDM GBICs are a component in the optical routing system designed to support high-speed data communication for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). The system uses a grid of eight CWDM optical wavelengths in both ring and point-to-point configurations. All components are color-coded by wavelength. The wavelength color codes of this converter are (1470 nm) gray, (1490 nm) violet, (1510 nm) blue, (1530 nm) green, (1550 nm) yellow, (1570 nm) orange, (1590 nm) Red, (1610 nm) brown.
