DWDM Power Coupler
The DWDM Power Coupler allows live monitoring of all 80 DWDM wavelengths on external OSA measuring equipment without link interruption. The SPEED-SPLIT series made of passive components, splits the optical signal on a fibre in a predetermined split ratio. A typical field of application are DWDM point-to-point connections, in which 10% of optical power are decoupled and thus provide a monitor port. By using this monitor port, for example OSA (Optical Spectrum Analyzer) equipment is connected. Thereby the initial calibration of the different DWDM wavelengths is simplified or an analysis of the connection during operation is possible. The SPEED-SPLIT WDM module can be equipped optionally with one or with up to four integrated power couplers. The modules are installed in space-saving housing types (SPEED-CARRIER 4.5U and SPEED-CARRIER 1U/B).
