The ONS 15216 Mux/Demux 40 Channel Patch Panel series introduces a-thermal arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) technology, which enables passive dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems to have the same optical performance as active-temperature-controlled AWGs. This technology breakthrough enables enterprises and service providers to deploy 80 channels of DWDM capacity by leveraging a reduced footprint while consuming zero electricity.

The ONS 15216 Mux/Demux 40 Channel Patch Panels are standalone units that contain both a 40 channel optical multiplexer and a 40 channel optical de-multiplexer that are precabled in the units' housing for easy plug-and-play. The ONS 15216 Mux/Demux Patch Panel 50 GHz Interleaver De-Interleaver easily plugs into the ONS 15216 Mux/Demux 40 Channel Patch Panel for in-service capacity upgrade from 40 channels up to 80 channels in a 4RU footprint. Figures 2 through 5 illustrate the different application configurations in which the ONS 15216 Mux/Demux 40 Channel Patch Panel can be deployed.
