Network Multiplexing

Efficient Capacity Upgrades

BTI offers network multiplexing filters to address a wide variety of network capacity and site wavelength add/drop requirements. The portfolio provides both Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) and Dense WDM (DWDM) support to efficiently and cost effectively multiply the capacity of existing fiber infrastructures. Network Multiplexing modules act as integrated modules within the BTI 7000 Series and can also be used with the BTI 700 series to allow customers to scale their networks.

Features

CWDM and DWDM support

BTI’s wavelength plans provide CWDM and DWDM options. ITU-compliant CWDM modules provide multiplexing for low to moderate channel count systems, whereas ITU-compliant DWDM modules provide multiplexing for high channel count systems or for systems interfacing with BTI’s reach extension portfolio. Both wavelength plans offer 10 Gbps channel solutions and provide immense capacity increases over direct-on-fiber alternatives. This means that 400G of capacity can now be placed onto a single fiber.

Modular and Scalable Architecture

BTI’s filter modules provide a modular and scalable solution by offering 1, 2, and 4 channel Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (OADMs) as well as high capacity, band-based mux/demux modules. Expansion ports allow for direct interworking between passive network elements, meaning that your passive infrastructure can be tailored precisely to your needs.

40ch. Mux/Demux

The new 40ch. mux/demux is a high density, low loss and standalone passive optical module that provides easy access to all 40 DWDM channels at a single site. It is ideally suited for high density add/drop requirements in DWDM networks.

Hybrid DWDM/CWDM Operation

A low-cost alternative to DWDM network architectures, a CWDM solution is ideal for low-channel-count networks. The BTI 7000 Series supports a CWDM & DWDM Splitter Combiner (CDSC) for use in networks transitioning from CWDM to DWDM. Exclusive CWDM and DWDM splitter/combiners are also available, and can be used as couplers to combine signals, or as splitters to divide a signal.

Modules Hardened For Extended Temperature Use

Modules are available in environmentally hardened chassis for extended temperature use, meeting the Telcordia standard GR-3108 requirement for extended temperature of -40C to +65C.
