Applications

The TC4001 is ideal for situations where existing fiber optic cable capacity is limited. Because it doubles existing cable capacity by transmitting bi-directional signals over a single fiber, it eliminates the need to install additional fiber optic cable.

Description                                        

The “Channel Surfer,” Model TC4001 Fiber Optic Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM), enables 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths to be transmitted simultaneously on the same fiber optic cable.  The direction of the optical signals can be in the same direction or opposite directions.

Transparent to incoming data, the TC4001 effectively doubles existing cable capacity by multiplexing two separate channels over one single mode fiber.  Dual two-channel units are also available.

Each TC4001 unit separates incoming optical signals between 1310nm and 1550nm.  Thus, a user needs to connect the TC4001 to a device (transceiver, modem, etc.) with a 1310nm single mode transmitter at one end and a 1550nm single mode transmitter at the other end.

The TC4001 fiber optic connectors are ST or FC.  Because it is a passive device, it requires no power. The TC4001R is the rackmount card that can fit into TCRM191/2 or TCRM195/6.  The TC4001S is the standalone/wallmount unit.
