• Doubles Use of Existing Fiber Optic Cable
• Transparent to Data Format
• Passive Device - No External Power Needed
• Stand Alone or Rackmount

Applications

The LT4001 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 LT4001 Fiber Optic Wavelength Division Multiplexer, enables 1300nm 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 oppo-site directions.

Transparent to incoming data, the LT4001 effectively doubles exist-ing cable capacity by multiplexing two separate channels over one single mode fiber. Dual two-channel units are also available. Each LT4001 unit separates incoming optical signals between 1300nm and 1550nm. Thus, a user needs to connect the LT4001 to a device (transceiver, modem, etc.) with a 1300nm single mode trans-mitter at one end and a 1550nm single mode transmitter at the other end.

The LT4001 fiber optic connectors are ST or FC. Because it is a passive device, it requires no power.
