OPTICAL FIBER CHANNEL DOUBLER (OFCD)

Optical Fiber Channel Doubler (OFCD) is a totally passive optical device capable of doubling fiber utilization. It converts fiber optics simplex transmission mode (one fiber in each direction) into full duplex transmission (bi-directional transmission in a fiber). This is achieved without wavelength conversions and without power supplies.

FEATURES

• Totally passive device – no powering required
• Plug and Play
• Transparent to bit rate and transmission format
• Independent of network architecture and input power
• Transparent to polarization
• Supporting 1310nm or 1550nm
• Supporting WDM channels – C band

ADVANTAGES

• No fiber installation cost
• Double fiber utilization
• Reduce fiber leasing cost
• Increase customers on existing fiber
• Increase services
• Maximize the lease line bandwidth usage
• Insert and Operate – Does not interfere with existing equipment.
