Chromatic Dispersion Compensation Modules
The two-slot EM316DCM060 and EM316DCM100 Dispersion Compensation Modules (DCM) are part of the Fiber Driver® DWDM solution accommodated by the two-slot or sixteen-slot chassis. These modules may be operated as passive units in an un-powered chassis or as managed modules with an EM316LNXNM-OT Network Manager (NM) in a powered chassis system.
Chromatic dispersion is a major distance limiting factor in DWDM networks for protocols exceeding 2 Gbps including 2 and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel, 2.5 and 2.7 Gbps SONET/SDH OC-48/STM16 with or without FEC, and especially networks running 10 Gbps. DCM modules provide fixed chromatic dispersion compensation for high-speed metro core, regional, and extended-haul DWDM networks. The Fiber Driver DCMs may be used at a midpoint for inline dispersion compensation or at the beginning or end of an optical link. The DCMs are ideal for single-stage amplification.
