Overview

The Cisco CWDM passive optical system provides optical networking support for high-speed data communication for metropolitan area networks (MANs) over a grid of eight CWDM optical wavelengths in both ring configurations or point-to-point configurations.

The Cisco CWDM passive optical system includes these components:

2-slot chassis for Cisco Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (OADMs)

CWDM OADMs

8-channel multiplexer/demultiplexer

Two 4-channel OADMs

Eight dual single-channel OADMs

1300 nm/1550 nm WDM splitter cable

CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP transceivers

CWDM 2-Slot Chassis

The CWDM 2-slot chassis (CWDM-CHASSIS-2) is a standard 19-inch chassis that is one rack unit (RU) in height. Each CWDM 2-slot chassis can hold two CWDM OADM modules. You can install the CWDM 2-slot chassis in the same equipment rack as your system or in an adjacent rack so that you can connect the OADMs to the CWDM GBIC transceivers or the CWDM SFP transceivers.

CWDM OADMs

The CWDM OADMs are passive devices that can multiplex/demultiplex or add/drop wavelengths from multiple fibers onto one optical fiber. The OADM connectors are interfaced to the color-matching CWDM GBIC or CWDM SFP transceivers on the equipment side. All OADMs are the same size. Two OADM modules can be installed in a CWDM 2-slot chassis (CWDM-CHASSIS-2). There are three different types of CWDM OADM modules

8-Channel Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (CWDM-MUX-8A=)

The 8-Channel Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (CWDM-MUX-8A=) allows you to multiplex/demultiplex eight separate channels into one pair of fiber. Dual fiber is used for both the network connection and the CWDM GBIC or CWDM SFP transceiver connections. The eight available wavelengths are 1470-nm, 1490-nm, 1510-nm, 1530-nm, 1550-nm, 1570-nm, 1590-nm, and 1610-nm. The multiplexer/demultiplexer, shown in Figure 1, is equipped with a monitor port that allows you to attach a power meter or an optical spectrum analyzer to assist you in monitoring and troubleshooting the network.

Figure 1 8-Channel Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (CWDM-MUX8) Front Panel

4-Channel OADM (CWDM-OADM4-1= and CWDM-OADM4-2=)

The 4-Channel OADM (CWDM-OADM4-1= and CWDM-OADM4-2=) allows you to add/drop four channels (with different wavelengths) into one direction of an optical ring. The other wavelengths are passed through the OADM. The 4-channel OADMs are transparent to the 1300-nm wavelength and includes a 1300-nm/1500-nm filter to mix legacy SONET/SDH/ATM ring installations with CWDM installations on the same optical fiber. Dual fiber is used for both the network and the GBIC or SFP connections. The two 4-channel OADMs, shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, support the following wavelengths:

CWDM-OADM4-1—1470-nm, 1490-nm, 1510-nm, and 1530-nm.

CWDM-OADM4-2—1550-nm, 1570-nm, 1590-nm, and 1610-nm.

The 4-channel OADM modules are equipped with a monitor port that allows you to attach a power meter or an optical spectrum analyzer to assist you in monitoring and troubleshooting the network.

Figure 2 4-Channel OADM (CWDM-OADM4-1) Front Panel

Figure 3 4-Channel OADM (CWDM-OADM4-2) Front Panel

Dual Single-Channel OADMs (CWDM-OADM1-xxxx)

The Dual Single-Channel OADMs (CWDM-OADM1-xxxx) allows you to add/drop two channels of the same wavelength into the two directions of an optical ring. The other wavelengths are passed through the OADM. The dual single-channel OADMs are transparent to the 1300-nm wavelength and includes a 1300-nm/1500-nm filter to mix legacy SONET/SDH/ATM ring installations with CWDM installations on the same optical fiber. Dual fiber is used for both the network and the CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP connections. Eight versions of this OADM are available, one for each wavelength of light. (See Table 2.) The dual single-channel OADMs, shown in Figures 4 through 11, are color coded and match the color coding of the CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP transceivers. The dual single-channel OADM modules are equipped with a monitor port that allows you to attach a power meter or an optical spectrum analyzer to assist you in monitoring and troubleshooting the network.

WDM Splitter Cable (WDM-1300-1550-S=)

The WDM splitter cable provides bidirectional, multiplexing/demultiplexing for 1310-nm and 1550-nm signals. The WDM splitter cable is a Y cable (see Figure 12) with a 1310-nm branch terminating in an SC connector and a 1550-nm branch terminating in an LC connector. The common trunk branch of the Y cable is terminated in an SC connector. The WDM splitter cable is 1 meter in length.

Figure 12 WDM Splitter Cable

CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP Transceivers

The CWDM GBIC and CWDM SFP transceivers are hot-swappable input/output devices that link your switching module to the CWDM passive optical system using a pair of single-mode fiber-optic cables. The two transceiver types have different form factors and use different fiber-optic cable connectors. Figure 13 shows a CWDM GBIC transceiver which uses an SC connector, and Figure 14 shows a CWDM SFP transceiver which uses an LC connector.
