The WDM88 is part of the Fiber Driver™
line of Coarse Wave Division Multiplexers from MRV Communications. Using eight
wavelengths, it multiplexes eight separate data channels onto one fiber trunk.
It effectively multiplies the capacity of available fiber by a factor of eight,
delivering high-speed bandwidth at Full Duplex.
Link distances of up to
65 km are possible, making the WDM88 ideally suited to Metro, Campus, and
Government/Military environments. With support for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre
Channel, FICON, and ESCON, it is an excellent solution for a wide range of
applications including migration from legacy protocols such as FDDI and Fast
Ethernet, increasing network capacity in fiber limited areas, and creating or
extending SANs.
Applications for OC48 (2.5 Gig) Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre
Channel and FICON protocols are available as either a 19” rack-mount standalone
(1 U) or as a 5-slot Fiber Driver Chassis module. The ESCON systems come in a
pre-configured 19” rack-mountable chassis (2.5 U) with a built-in
NMS.
For fiber-limited installations, Single Fiber versions of the WDM88
are available, providing the same level of performance over a single fiber
strand up to a distance of 35 km. Three of the 5-slot modules can be managed in
just one of the Fiber Driver 16-slot chassis, achieving a high density of 24
ports in just 2.5 U of rack space while using a total of only three fibers for
the trunk.
