Foxcom adds CWDM solution to its product line
Jerusalem, Foxcom, a division of OnePath Networks, a leading provider of fiber optic transmission solutions for the professional satellite, broadcast, and MDU (multi-dwelling unit) markets announced today the introduction of Course Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) units to the Foxcom product line. With Foxcom's CWDM units, transmitting over fiber becomes a much more cost effective proposition, maximizing network capacity while lowering the amount of fiber installed or leased.
CWDM technology transmits multiple channels over a single fiber. Up to 8 L-Band and/or 70/140 MHz IF signals can be transmitted. CWDM technology uses ITU standard 20 nm spacing between the wavelengths, from 1470 nm to 1610 nm. Each wavelength is transmitted on a separate single mode fiberoptic cable and then multiplexed onto a single fiber. Each wavelength is transmitted on a separate single mode fiberoptic cable and then multiplexed onto a single fiber. Foxcom's Coarse Wavelength-Division Demultiplexer reverses the process, separating the light into 8 separate fiber paths. Wide channels spacing makes possible the use of lower cost lasers and passive equipment. As opposed to more expensive DWDM systems, no cooling of the lasers is required.
"Our CWDM units will lower our customers' costs, while giving them more flexibility in designing their earth stations" said Jack Hotz, Foxcom CEO. "Furthermore we are exploiting our knowledge and experience in fiber optic technologies to expand our product line, providing complete solutions to our customers."
