LAD-40 and LAD-40E Modules Paired with the AWG-40
LAD-40 and LAD-40E modules require an associated AWG-40 Array Wave Guide module for add/drop
traffic. Individual wavelengths are added and/or dropped using the passive AWG-40 2
RU module. The
AWG-40 provides the ability to multiplex and de-multiplex any of the 40 channels supported by a LAD-40
or LAD-40E module. The AWG-40 module is connected to the LAD-40 or LAD-40E COM port through a
fiber jumper. The individual channels on the AWG-40 module are then connected to the appropriate
Z-Series line card DWDM XFP transceiver using a fiber jumper.
