Overview

A WDM cable combines and separates two optical wavelengths to double the data capacity of an installed fiber. The

single-fiber technology is bi-directional using gray (wide), CWDM, or DWDM wavelengths as specified by “/xxyy” in the

ordering codes.

The cable assembly provides two data paths. Each path supports data flow in either direction between the single

connector end and one of the double-end connectors. Data can flow in only one direction through each path at any

moment.

MUX/DeMUX cables are fully passive, and they operate at specific wavelengths. They are transparent to networks and

protocols. A pair of cables, as in the following example, attenuates an optical signal by no more than 1.2 dB on either

single-mode or multi-mode fiber.
