Wave Division Multiplexing MRV’s FiberDriver and FiberDriver-LD line of WDM products offer a complete solution to meet any WDM requirements, either to increase bandwidth or to offer wavelength services. MRV offers a broad range of capacities, distances, and form-factors so that any type of WDM network can be deployed. Both Coarse (CWDM) and Dense (DWDM) products are available, ranging from T1/E1 to OC-48 protocol speeds, including all forms of Ethernet. There are two basic categories of WDM products, fixed-form and modular. Fixed-form products are designed to offer several streams of data over a point-to-point fiber-optic link. Modular products are designed to generate any required configuration of protocols or services. MRV also offers the unique ‘Colored GBIC’ and ‘OADM Cable’ CWDM system, which provides a full WDM solution that plugs into existing switches or routers, without requiring any additional WDM system. Fixed-Form WDM Products The FiberDriver WDM series of fixed-form CWDM products provide connections of multiple streams of Gigabit Ethernet, FiberChannel, ESCON, and other protocols over a single fiber pair. Many options are available, including long distance single-mode and Extended Multimode (see GMX technology). Products ranging from two data streams to eight data streams are available, depending on the requirements. Modular CWDM/DWDM Products The FiberDriver LD series consists of multi-functional, compact modular Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems that can create up to 64 independent virtual fiber optic links over a single pair of fibers over distance of up to 100 km. The LD400, LD800 and LD1600 systems are targeted for Carriers’ Central Offices or multi-tenant office buildings and are ideally suited for MAN networks as well as large enterprise and Access networks. The product supports different network topologies such as PTP, Linear OADM and Ring. The FiberDriver LD family operates in a DWDM (ITU Grid channels spacing) and CWDM (20nm channels spacing) technology. Each data stream can handle rates from 10 Mbps up to 2.5 Gbps. The systems support future upgrade to 10 Gbps services. It also supports ESCON multiplexer modules for multiple ESCON streams on the same wavelength. Fiber Driver CWDM Modules The Fiber Driver Modular Managed Transport system includes many modules for use in CWDM applications, including Add-Drop Multiplexers, and also specific 1310/1550 combiner modules. Colored GBIC and OADM Cables MRV’s unique “Colored GBICs” and “OADM Cables” solution brings an unrivaled simplicity to the WDM world. A colored GBIC is an optical plug-in module for switches and routers that generates optical signal at a particular WDM wavelength (ordered by wavelength number). This product eliminates the need for a separate transponder module by providing the data in an already acceptable form for WDM systems to passively multiplex. The OADM (Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) Cable takes this concept one step further. Instead of requiring a whole WDM system, MRV provides a simple optical patch cable that operates as a single channel add-drop multiplexer. When combined with the Colored GBICs, this allows a WDM network to be created directly with existing switches or routers, without the need for any other WDM-specific systems. |
