The Fiber Driver Passive Mux/Demux modules and cables deliver the benefits of a Wave Division Multiplexer in a fully passive solution. With matching units placed at each end of an optical link, up to 16 Full Duplex data channels can be combined and transmitted over a Single Mode fiber trunk. Using the Mode Conditioning module 4 data channels can be multiplexed over a single Multimode fiber link to a distance of up to 1 km, and 8 channels can be transmitted up to 500 m.

Protocol and topology independent, the operation of the Passive Mux/Demux remains transparent to both the network and the end user. With plug-n-play setup and a design that minimizes budget loss, it can readily and seamlessly be integrated into an existing environment. The unit's small form factor and no requirement for power means it can be placed virtually anywhere.

The direct benefit of a Fiber Driver Passive Mux/Demux is its ability to maximize the utilization of existing fiber plant at a fraction of the time and expense of installing additional fiber. It increases network capacity while allowing for greater deployment flexibility as data channels can be added or changed as needed.
