Cisco Prisma OADM-FILTER-OBAND-B-SC/APC OADM Filter

Increasing customer demands for advanced services and escalating competitive pressures are causing HFC network operators to consider strategic options. One popular alternative involves segmentation of the network to reduce service group size and increase effective per-home bandwidth.

Cisco's advanced O-band multi-wavelength optical transmitters and complementary optical passives provide innovative and economical forward path segmentation solutions in areas with fiber count limitations. Multiple optical wavelengths carrying differing content are multiplexed for transport on a common fiber and demultiplexed to feed the segmented service areas. Optimal performance is achieved by making use of up to six carefully selected O-band optical wavelengths (channels).

The Prisma O-band optical passives are designed to be used in conjunction with Prisma II Multi-wavelength High Density Transmitters. The passive optical multiplexers and demultiplexers (mux/demux) have filtering that match the transmitter wavelengths channel for channel, and are optimized for low insertion loss across the band. The indoor mux/demux units are available in industry recognized LGX form factor to allow easy, snap-in mounting in a variety of enclosures and cabinets. The demux is additionally packaged in cassette form for field deployment in extreme environmental conditions. A single channel Optical Add-Drop Mux (OADM) is also available in a raw filter package for field deployment.

Features:

• Prisma mux/demux modules available in 2, 4, and 6 channel configurations
• Single channel Optical Add-Drop Mux (OADM) available for greater design flexibility
• Prisma mux/demux pairs optimized for the lowest combined insertion loss across all wavelengths Raw Filter
• Module for both mux and demux applications
• LGX-compatible modules easily snap in to a wide variety of enclosures and cabinets
• Industry-standard SC/APC adapters ensure connector compatibility; minimize back reflection and insertion losses; simplify moves, adds & changes; and reduce connector maintenance requirements
