June 17, 2016 – Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc., a provider of data communications and fiber connectivity products, announced the launch of the iConverter Multimode CWDM/X multiplexer. The iConverter Multimode CWDM/X 4 and 8 Channel CWDM Multiplexer and Demultiplexer plug-in modules are designed to increase the capacity of multimode fiber networks.
Multimode fiber is typically installed inside buildings or between nearby buildings and facilitates a single data channel. The Multimode CWDM/X multiplexer enables up to 8 data channels wavelengths to be transported over multimode fiber.
Multimode CWDM/X multiplexers are protocol and rate transparent, allowing Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SDH/SONET and other services up to 10Gbps per channel to be transported across the same fiber link. The modules support ITU-T G.694.2 standard CWDM wavelengths between 1470nm to 1610nm in 20nm increments.
As the newest member of the iConverter Multi-Service Platform, the Multimode CWDM/X can be installed in the same chassis with iConverter managed media converters, fiber transponders and Carrier Ethernet demarcation devices. This architecture enables Ethernet and TDM connectivity between existing equipment and CWDM multiplexers without forklift network upgrades.
The iConverter CWDM/X multimode modules are passive devices that require no external power, and can be managed with Omnitron’s NetOutlook SNMP management software with the addition of a management module to the iConverter chassis.
