Why is the 1556.55 nm wavelength important?
1556.55 nm is a standardized DWDM channel on the 100 GHz ITU grid, offering low dispersion and optimal performance in the C-band for long-haul transmission.
What does 100 GHz ITU grid mean?
The 100 GHz ITU grid specifies 0.8 nm channel spacing for DWDM, ensuring accurate wavelength allocation and maximal fiber capacity.
Which equipment supports the X2 form factor?
The X2 form factor is supported by Cisco, Juniper, Huawei and other DWDM-compatible switches and routers with X2 slots.
What fiber type is required for this DWDM module?
Single-Mode Fiber (SMF-28) that meets ITU-T G.652 standards is required to achieve optimal transmission with the DWDM-X2-56.55.
What is the maximum link distance?
The DWDM-X2-56.55 can transmit up to 80 km over single-span fiber without amplification; reach extends further with EDFA or Raman amplifiers.
What is the typical insertion loss?
