DC1500 Series
Dispersion Compensation Units

Enlarged Photo (37k)

Dispersion in optical networks used for data transport, particularly over longer fiber distances, can adversely affect system performance (e.g., due to increased bit-rate errors resulting from pulse shape degradation). Aurora’s DC1500 series of Dispersion Compensation Units are designed to minimize such effects with an all-passive design that provides appropriate pulse shape correction.

Three models of the DC1500 series are available to compensate for dispersion effects for distances of 20, 40 and 60 kilometers, and all models are characterized by superior compensation performance combined with low insertion loss.

These units occupy 1RU of rack space and are provided with rack mount adapters that are easily changed to permit fiber connections from either the front or rear of the rack.

Features

•  Passive optical module based on dispersion compensating fiber
    technology
•  Superior dispersion compensation performance over 1550 ± 20 nm
    wavelength window
•  Low insertion loss
•  Adjustable side mounting brackets for fiber connections from front
    or rear of 19-inch rack
•  1RU rack space
