Optical multiplexers
The Nortel optical routing system supports high-speed data communications
in metropolitan area networks (MAN) by connecting Gigabit Ethernet ports
with fiber optic networks, and by combining multiple wavelengths on a single
fiber to expand available bandwidth.
Use multiplexers in optical routing systems to multiplex, add, or drop
wavelengths in optical networks.
Multiplexing equipment
An optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) adds or drops one wavelength to
or from a fiber carrying multiple wavelengths. An optical multiplexer adds
or drops multiple wavelengths to or from a fiber.
The following table shows supported OADMs and OMUXs and the
corresponding wavelengths of operation.
