1U DWDM Mux Demux Chassis for Fiber Optical Network

Innovative 1U DWDM Mux Demux Chassis Design for Scalable Fiber Optical Networks. As a result, with the combination of multiplexing and demultiplexing functions in an integrated rack-mounted chassis, it maximizes fiber resource utilization while realizing high-speed optical transmission.

The chassis features a standard 19-inch 1U rack-mount design that enables operators and system integrators to deploy high-density DWDM infrastructure in cramped cabinet space. It is commonly used for data center interconnect (DCI), metro optical networks, enterprise optical transport systems, and telecom backbone networks.

Compact 1U Design for High-Density Deployment

To optimise the use of space in optical network equipment rooms and data centres, a compact structural design is used for the chassis.

Its unique modular architecture allows for all plug-in DWDM Mux Demux modules and supports flexible channel configurations 4CH, 8CH, 16CH, 40CH and up to a 96-channel DWDM system. This enables network operators to scale transmission capacity based on traffic without ripping and replacing entire systems.

Key structural advantages include:

• Standard 19-inch 1U rack-mount chassis

• Modular design supporting multiple DWDM Mux Demux modules

• Front-panel access for easy installation and maintenance

• Organized internal fiber routing for stable optical connections

• Optimized chassis layout for high-density optical deployments

High Compatibility with DWDM Optical Networks

The DWDM Mux Demux chassis is engineered to integrate seamlessly with various optical transmission systems. It supports standard ITU-T DWDM wavelength grids (100GHz / 50GHz) and can be deployed alongside common optical transport equipment.

The system is compatible with:
