TE launches compact CWDM module for easy fiber capacity expansion

TE Connectivity has launched its Compact CWDM (CCWDM) module, a new addition to TE’s Fiber Optic Splice Closure (FOSC) family of products for service providers that want to expand the capacity of their fiber plants without the expense of deploying additional fiber cables. The CCWDM module splits out four or eight wavelengths from a single fiber and can be installed in the field or in the factory. In addition, the CCWDM module comes with a unique carrier that snaps into TE’s FOSC closure trays to securely hold the CWDM module in place.

The CCWDM module is available in 4- or 8-wavelength versions, with or without upgrade and 1310nm ports, to multiplex or de-multiplex wavelengths. This provides greater cable plant versatility while provisioning commercial customers with high-speed data, digital phone and video services. The module features low optical loss and is compatible with most TE FOSC closures. Up to two CCWDM modules can be mounted in a single FOSC A, B or C closure tray and more than two devices can be mounted into a single FOSC D closure tray. Also, when used without the carrier, the CCWDM module can be mounted in most competitive splicing trays as well.

“Its compact size and carrier tray set it apart from the competition by making it easier to deploy in a variety of field situations,” claims Jaxon Lang, VP of TE’s Telecom Networks Americas business unit.
