Our CCWDM multiplexer utilizes advanced free-space optics platform, using parallel beam cascading instead of traditional fiber connections. This revolutionary approach reduces insertion loss by approximately 50% compared to conventional CWDM modules while enabling a package size less than 1/4 of standard units.
The parallel beam cascading technology eliminates bulky fiber connections, resulting in ultra-compact dimensions. Choose between two compact aluminum box modules: L55×W35×H8mm or L44×W25×H6mm, saving significant space in your network infrastructure.
