JDS Uniphase Launches New CWDM Solutions

JDS Uniphase introduced a new WaveReady series of optical access products, including a coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) solution aimed at enterprise and metro networking applications. The new CWDM line cards for the WaveReady series include a bi-directional 1310 nm input / 15xx nm output regenerator, a bi-directional 850 nm input / 15xx nm output regenerator, and an 8-channel mux/demux. Other new line cards for WaveReady include a DWDM bi-directional ITU 1310 nm input / 15xx nm output regenerator and an optical protection switch. In addition to CWDM and DWDM, the WaveReady Series fits a variety of applications including wavelength services, amplification, protection switching, reach extension, 1310/1550 overlay and Gigabit Ethernet services. JDS Uniphase offers several WaveReady platforms, including a chassis that can be configured with up to 14 line cards, a smaller, 1U-sized, two line-card platform, and a fixed model optimized for Gigabit Ethernet extension, path protection switching or optical demarcation applications.
