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.
