6.3 Reducing the fiber optic cable count
The system requires duplex fiber optical cable in order to properly operate, but sometimes it required
transferring the data over simplex fiber cable or installing the system into existing CWDM infrastructure.
Several options listed in the sections below exist in order to achieve the above. Please note that these
options are available for single mode fiber infrastructure only.
Please contact KAYA representative for details of those options.
6.3.1 CWDM SFP+ option
In CWDM option the SFP+ is replaced by CWDM SFP+ that is able to transmit and receive the data on specific
wavelength. By using these SFP+ modules, the system can be integrated into existing CWDM infrastructure
by usage of external CWDM MUX.
Please contact KAYA representative for details.
6.3.2 Bidirectional (BIDI) SFP+ option
This option allows using a simplex fiber cable in the system. In this option the SFP+ is replaced by
bidirectional (BIDI) SFP+ that transmits and receives on the same fiber core. Example connection is
described in Figure 12.
