CWDM 4 Channel Card Centre Wavelengths 1470/1490/1590/1610 nm

The BC-4 is a passive device for multiplexing or demultiplexing different optical wavelengths onto or from a single mode fibre optic cable. Each unit allows the combination/separation of up to 4 channels with 20 nm wavelength spacing based on ITU G.694.2 grid specifications. The addition of further BC-4 or BC-8 cards allows the system to transmit a total of 16 independent wavelengths over a single fibre, providing a very cost-effective solution for system designers working with third-party leased fibres or outside broadcast applications.

The BC-4 occupies a single slot in all 19” BC series chassis.
This module is designed for space-limited applications, ideal for portable outside broadcast systems when fitted into BC160/BC160P units.

The BC-4D occupies two slots in all 19” BC series chassis.
This module can be used for cost-effective installations where space is not critical.

The 19” 1RU BC160P chassis is specially designed to accommodate passive optical modules, including splitters, WDM and CWDM devices. Used in combination with active chassis, they produce ultra-compact optical multiplexing and distribution systems.

For standalone applications, the BC-4 can be housed in an individual ruggedised BC120 enclosure.

* The standard connector used is LC/PC.
