Optical Components & Modules
Bare Couplers
The dual window Wideband Couplers (WBC) split or couple optical
power in two wavelength regions while maintaining a very broad
operating bandwidth. Split and coupling ratios are available from 5%
to 50%.
Features:
• Dual window wideband operation
• Low insertion loss over entire bandwidth and temperature (typical
IL change <±0.1dB)
• Ultra-low PDL and temperature sensitivity
• 500 Cleanings
• High directivity
• Compact design
• Environmentally stable, over 10 years of proven field reliability
• Standard operating temperature range -4O °C to +85 °C
• Fully tested to Telcordia 1209 and 1221 criteria
Ruggedized Wideband Couplers
Wideband coupler offering are two package styles for ruggedized
versions of these reliable, standardized couplers. 3mm and 900um
furcated pigtail options and a variety of connector styles are offered
in both single-mode and multimode applications.
Planar Couplers (PLC)
The Planar Coupler provides the uniform division of an optical
signal by having one input port and multiple output ports. Compact
packaging and stable optical parameters allow these couplers to be
integrated into Telecommunications, Local Area Network (LAN), and
Cable Television (CATV) networks.
Features:
• Low insertion loss
• Compact design
• Stable optical performance
• Dual Window (1310 & 1550nm)
• Low insertion loss
• Low back reflection
• High output uniformity
• Standard operating temperature range -4O °C to +85 °C
• Telecordia GR-1029 and GR-1221 qualified
Optical Coupler Modules
Coupler modules for the management of optical power and wavelength.
The modules are comprised of Telcordia-compliant PLC or concatenated
fused biconic components and, once assembled and terminated, are fully
tested for environmental, mechanical and optical integrity.
Features:
• Telcordia qualified components and connectors
• Low loss
• Low uniformity
• Available in LGX®, RU and custom designs
• Standard and custom ratios
• Rugged construction to ensure environmental, mechanical and
optical integrity
• Termination options include SC, ST®, FC and LC
• Module color is central office white
Optical FTTx Coupler Module
Optical FTTx Coupler Module is designed to satisfy requirements
utilizing 1550nm bandwidths in FTTx applications and is specified for
FTTx video install-ations.
CWDM/DWDM Module
Four and eight channel Coarse WDM Modules (CWDM) in a cost
effective, mechanically rugged LGX footprint or tray mounted module.
Features:
• Telcordia Qualified Components
• 20mm Channel Spacing
• Four or Eight Channel Separation
• Most Industry Standard Connectors
• Low Insertion Loss
• High Isolation
