Passive Optical Devices
Access untapped potential in your fiber network with passive optical devices
Fiber optic cable is key to supporting today’s bandwidth-intense applications, but installing new fiber is costly and time-consuming. How do you adapt your existing fiber infrastructure to support new services, increase network capacity and guarantee consistent performance? The answer is clear: CommScope’s passive optical device (POD) integrated solutions. They allow you to:
- Increase capacity on existing networks without adding fiber
- Reduce costs and improve optical performance
- Deploy faster and accelerate return on investment
- Co-exist services on a single fiber
Optical splitters and couplers split or combine light—increasing the amount of traffic over a single fiber. CommScope offers a portfolio of bare and connectorized splitters/couplers in a wide range of styles and split ratios, and splitter modules for inside plant (ISP) and outside plant (OSP) applications.
CommScope’s optical splitter products enable:
- Faster turnup of passive optical networks (PONs)
- Reliability and performance in outside plant environments
- Low insertion-loss specifications
- Customer test reports and reliability certification
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDMs) and de-multiplexers combine multiple signals for transport on a single fiber, and separate combined signals for distribution to multiple destinations—increasing the bandwidth available on your existing fiber. WDM solutions require no power or additional fiber installation, making them quick and easy to install and maintain.
CommScope’s WDM portfolio includes a variety of form factors, optimal for a wide range of ISP and OSP applications. For example, CommScope’s LGX or NG4 ISP Mux Modules can be paired with FOSC or FIST tray OSP Demux modules and CommScope’s Coexistence (CEx) elements as part of distributed network architectures.
With CommScope’s WDM, operators can:
- Support high-speed, high-capacity throughput with low latency
- Improve quality of service
- Make the most out of their fiber investments
- Deploy GPON, CPRI and Ethernet on the same network
- Migrate from 1G to 100G and higher
Coexistence elements allow you to support multiple services on a single fiber. For example, you can offer XGS-PON and NGPON2 over existing PON fiber infrastructure without changing the outside plant. CommScope’s CEx elements are available in four configurations and two housing styles: NG4 and LGX.
CommScope’s CEx elements enable:
- Multiple PON services over existing fiber infrastructure
- Increased speed and performance over GPON systems
- Utilization of unused spectrum
- Cost-effective migration to next-gen PON services
- Coexistence of XGS-PON, NG-PON2, RF video, optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) and other future technologies
