QuickStartGuide
PassiveopticalCWDMdevicesutilizethin‐filmfiltertechnology.Theyareavailableinvariouswavelength
combinationsbasedontheentirewavelengthspectrum(1270nm–1610nmin20nmincrements)definedbythe
ITU‐TG.694.2CWDMstandard.TheCWDMmodulesareavailableintwomainconfigurations:Mux/Demux
modulesandOpticalAdd/DropMultiplexer(OADM)modules.Eachmoduleisapluggabledevicethatslidesintoa
onerackunit(1RU)chassisthatcanholdtwomodulesandmountintoa19”equipmentrack.

HandlingFiberCables:Inspecttheendsofallconnectorsfordustorimperfections.Keeptheconnectors’protective
coveronwhennotinuse.Usecareinhandlingallfiber‐opticconnectors.Inspectfiberendsforsignsofdamage.Always
cleanandinspectfiberconnectorsbeforemakingaconnection.
InstallingFiberCables:Toinstallthefibercables:1.Removetheprotectivecoverfromtheport.2.Locatea2‐
strandfibercablewiththeappropriatemaleconnectorsinstalledonbothends.3.Carefullyinsertthefibercableinto
theCWDMandthedevice.

Troubleshooting:1.Makesurethefiberconnectorsareclean;seetheFOA.orgterminationcleaningwebpage.
2.Makesureyourmodelsupportsthefeatureorfunctionattempted.3.Verifytheinstallprocess.3.Troubleshoot
connectednetworkdevicestopointtotheswitch.4.Whencalculatingopticalloss,ensurethatthetotalloss,plusa
safetyfactor(typically3dB)doesnotexceedtheopticalpowerbudget(thedifferencebetweenthetransmitteroptical
