1 Overview
The RG-DEMUX/MUX series demultiplexers and multiplexers are passive devices for optical switching
released by Ruijie Networks for simplified optical Ethernet scenarios.
Boasting CWDM technology and 16-channel standard wavelengths ranging from 1271nm to 1571nm in 20nm
increments, this series, when used along with Ruijie Simplified Optical Ethernet solutions, can extend 10G/1G
optical fibers to each room and meet customer requirements for collapsing the distribution switch, achieving
passive distribution nodes, and reducing the configuration and O&M workloads of active distribution nodes.
Moreover, in some reconstruction scenarios, expansion of port services also becomes possible with existing
optical fiber resources, thus solving the problem of insufficient optical fiber resources.
