Aurora Networks’ BP-35M4x series Optical Mux Back Plates facilitate implementation of Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) architectures. DWDM technology can dramatically increase network capacity without requiring that additional fiber be deployed for super-trunking or narrowcasting applications.

Aurora's unique packaging of these 4-channel multipexers as back plates that can be easily attached to the rear of the CH3000 chassis eliminates the need to allocate internal chassis slots for dedicated multiplexer modules.

Further increasing the flexibility and efficiency of the BP-35M4x packaging concept is the fact that the same series models BP-35M4x-1-00-AS back plates can be used to provide multiplexing capabilities for mid-plane connection versions of both Aurora’s AT3510G series DWDM Narrowcast Transmitters and DX3515 series Digital Transponders, while the series models BP-35M4x-1-02-AS provide the same multiplexing functionality for Aurora’s DT3515 series Return Path Digital Transmitters.

All BP-35M4x series mulitiplexers also feature passthrough DWDM output and input ports so that the signals from two units may be cascaded to provide a final multi-channel signal transmission of up to eight ITU channels on a single optical fiber.

Features

•  Unique 4-module-wide back plate design provides multiplexing function
    without need for internal chassis slot
•  Eliminates four patch cords
•  4 channels spaced on standard 100 GHz DWDM ITU Grid
    (10 channel plans available)
•  Mux and demux pairs optimized for minimum combined insertion loss
    across all channels
•  Flat-top passband
•  High optical isolation
•  SC/APC connectors ensure performance repeatability, compatibility
    and easy installation and maintenance
•  Series models BP-35M4x-1-00-AS can be used with both AT3510G series
    DWDM Narrowcast Transmitters and DX3515 series Digital Transponders
•  Series models BP-35M4x-1-02-AS available for use with DT3515 series
    Return Path Digital Transmitters
