CWDM 4 Channel Card Centre Wavelengths 1270/1290/1310/1330 nm

The BC-4 is a passive device for multiplexing or demultiplexing different optical wavelengths to or from a single mode fibre optic cable. Each unit allows combining/separating up to 4 channels with 20 nm wavelength spacing based on ITU G.694.2 grid specifications. Adding additional BC-4 or BC-8 cards enables the system to transmit a total of 16 independent wavelengths over a single fibre, proving to be a highly cost-effective solution for system designers working with leased third-party fibres or outside broadcasting.

The BC-4 occupies a single slot in any BC series 19" chassis.
This module is designed for space-limited applications, ideal for portable outside broadcasting systems when installed in BC160/BC160P units.

The BC-4D occupies two slots in any BC series 19" 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.
