Overview

 


The DCM LiteTM product is a fixed chromatic dispersion compensation module designed  to compensate fiber span chromatic dispersion.  Inserting these modules into fiber links allows for transmission link distances to be increase past transceiver dispersion limits.

The DCM LiteTM modules are available with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology or dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) technology. Both technologies fit into a 1-RMU 19 or 23 inch rack mountable case.
 
Features (FBG)
  • Compensates chromatic dispersion
  • Low insertion loss
  • Zero latency
  • Accepts high input power without nonlinear effects
  • C-band or L-band coverage
  • Slope-matched to G.652 or G.655 fiber
  • Cascadable
  • Environmentally friendly product, completely passive, no power and no cooling required
  • 1 or 2 DCM units per 1-RMU Shelf
  • available channelized and non channelized units
