Fiber optic communication commonly uses fiber pairs for bi- Center wavelength

directional communication. In WDM applications single fiber

solutions are also possible and SmartOptics have developed the
T-32xx series of single fibre mux/demux units to accommodate
these requirements.

WDM approach.

Filter specifications for life-time, indoor and outdoor

environments
In CWDM systems the laser wavelength is dependant on the
environmental temperature of the transceiver. To be fully
compliant with the CWDM standard and its variants the laser
wavelength is allowed to drift by ±6.5 nm and the filter passband
bandwidth requires ±7.0 nm around ITU center wavelengths.
In DWDM systems the wavelength is controlled by using a TEC
element which maintains stability. However, the filter passband
drifts depending on the environmental conditions.

SmartOptics specified values are valid for the worst case and
over the filter life-time (calculated for 20 years).
The definition of typical filter values is shown in the illustration
below.

building practise for a 1U height 19" and 23" mounting bracket or
in filter cassettes for outdoor enclosures. Both building practises
are illustrated below.

When using duplex connector interfaces, it is recommended to

use duplex patch cables between the transceiver and passive
unit. Then there is no risk that the transmit or receive interfaces
are swapped with each other and the most probable error source
in the installation process is eliminated.

The connector adapters are angled at 30° to the front plate of the
passive unit. This reduces the required space for the patch cords

Additionally, the line interfaces have a mechnical shutter to

increase eye-safety.

Color coding for CWDM

For CWDM systems an industry standard color coding scheme is
used. The latches of the transceivers match the colored port
indicators on the passive units therefore gauranteeing simple
setup. Following color codes are valid for CWDM:

SmartOptics, the complete resource for optical transmission networks
SmartOptics has a proven track record in designing optical Active WDM equipment
transmission networks. SmartOptics offers an extremely compact C/DWDM subsystem
Our success is based on our expert knowledge in the three key completing the portfolio. Key benefits are:
networking disciplines

Ÿ passive WDM, Ÿ optical amplification (EDFAs),

Ÿ optical transceivers, Ÿ 3R regeneration for all types of protocols
Ÿ active WDM equipment. Ÿ performance monitoring (optical and bit level)

This gives us and our customers a unique advantage and results

in high performance and cost optimized network solutions.

SmartOptics products now make optical networking,

especially 4G, 8G and 10G connectivity, simple and
affordable.

Optical transceivers
SmartOptics has a complete portfolio of optical transceivers.
Product highlights include: Thank You,

Ÿ C/DWDM 10G Xenpak’s, X2's and XFP’s Your SmartOptics Team

Ÿ CWDM 8G/10G SFP+’s
Ÿ C/DWDM 4G SFP’s

Customer Feedback:

Our philosophy at SmartOptics is that business should be simple. We are proud to be working with some of the biggest names in
the storage world: -

“Just a quick update message to let you know that the CWDM is installed and working within T-Systems. It was a very smooth
and quick installation and within hours we had increased their cross site capacity from 96Gb/s using 24 dark fibres to 192Gb/s
using just 4 dark fibres. This solution is far more cost effective than the 2Gb/s solution previously used and other alternative
“active” DWDM systems. Now that Brocade have changed their approach to third party SFP usage, and locked out all other third
party SFP vendors except for SmartOptics, SmartOptics can potentially be an important supplier for our Brocade applications
where distance extensions are required. We already have other possibilities for your equipment which we hope to close soon.”

HP, UK

“I had the CWDM up and running within minutes, I really can’t believe how simple this is. A typical configuration to extend the
fabric is to implement a single SAN over distances to provide geographic separation of server and storage. Normally we would do
this with a DWDM system, but we used the SmartOptics embedded CWDM solution and are delighted with the results.”

SUN Microsystems, UK

“The SmartOptics Product line is the perfect companion to our own portfolio. We are seeing more and more 4Gbps opportunities
and by working with SmartOptics we have been able to satisfy these requirements over long distances using Embedded CWDM
solutions. By having a long distance 4Gbps solution, it also means that our customers can now use their switches at the full line
rate for which they were originally intended and maximise their investment.”

Acal, UK

“We were amazed at just how simple the SmartOptics system is and also how reliable the solution is as well. Normally we spend
a lot of time configuring DWDM channels but with the SmartOptics solution we just plugged the optics in to our switches and we
were up and running within minutes. Another reason why we chose the SmartOptics solution was the reliability of the system.
There is a completely passive solution so the reliability figures are amazing comared to what we have been used to, and therefore
we do not have to worry about expensive Service contracts and software licences.
