OP3534
Optical Narrowcast Demux with BC/NC Combiner |
The Model OP3534 is a combined narrowcast demultiplexer and
broadcast/narrowcast combiner with integrated power level monitoring and management
capabilities. The OP3534 features four optical input ports (one carrying the DWDM
narrowcast services and the other three for either a single four-way split or dual
two-way splits of broadcast services) and five output ports (one narrowcast services
pass-through port and four combined broadcast/narrowcast ports). Each OP3534
demultiplexes up to four DWDM wavelengths and is available in various wavelength
combinations.
One broadcast optical signal can be equally split four ways or each of
two independent broadcast signals can be split two ways, while the narrowcast carriers
are separated by a four-channel ITU–grid demultiplexer (with models available for both
100 GHz and 200 GHz spaced ITU grid channels). Each narrowcast optical carrier is then
multiplexed with one of the common broadcast optical signals and passed to one of the
four output ports. DWDM optical carriers whose wavelengths are not dropped by the demux
are passed through to the DWDM output port.
By adding optical narrowcast carriers, the OP3534 allows MSOs to offer new,
revenue-generating services such as digital video, video-on-demand, high-speed data and
telephony, more easily and cost-effectively than ever before.
