8-channel CWDM card Central wavelengths 1470/1490/1510/1530/1550/1570/1590/1610 nm

The BC-8 is a passive device for multiplexing or demultiplexing different optical wavelengths onto or from a single-mode fibre optic cable. Each unit allows combining/separating up to 8 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, proving to be a very cost-effective solution for system designers working with third-party leased fibres or in outside broadcast applications.

The BC-8 occupies a single slot in BC series 19" rack-mount chassis.
This module is designed for applications where space is paramount, ideal for portable OB systems when installed in BC160/BC160P units.

The BC-8D occupies two slots in BC series 19" rack-mount chassis.
This module can be used for cost-effective installations where space is not critical.
The BC160P 19" 1RU chassis is specifically designed to accommodate passive optical modules, including splitters, WDM and CWDM devices. When used in combination with active chassis, they produce ultra-compact optical multiplexing and distribution systems.

For standalone applications, the BC-8 can be housed in an individual robust BC120 enclosure.
