Fiber Optic Communication Data Links
Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM)
The DWDM Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (OADM) is a passive optical device used in WDM networks to add or drop one or multiple 100 GHz DWDM channels within the C-band onto one or two fibers, while allowing all other wavelengths to pass through to their destination without interruption. By leveraging DWDM technology, it enables efficient expansion of both existing and new networks, enhancing wavelength utilization and extending optical transmission distances. DWDM OADM modules are available in single-sided (East or West) and dual-sided (East and West) configurations, and when paired with MUX/DeMUX units at each end of the link, multiple data channels can be multiplexed and transmitted over a single-mode fiber. These passive modules can add or drop up to four channels at any point along the fiber span.
