The BlueBox™ BBG-4490 series of CWDM passive multiplexers (mux) / de-multiplexers (demux) offer a flexible, scalable, cost-effective solution to mux and demux up to 18 fiber channels onto a shared fiber trunk. 4 and 8-channel units are available which can be used as standalones or rack-mounted using an optional 1RU mounting panel (12, 16, and 18-channel units are rack-mounted 1RU units). Used in conjunction with our fiber EO and OE converter cards, digital video, audio, and IP can all be carried over a shared fiber trunk. Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (CWDM) offers a cost-effective, scalable, and convenient solution for multiplexing and de-multiplexing discrete channels onto a shared fiber trunk. Each model can be used as a mux or a de-mux unit (two units are required for a complete mux/de-mux setup).
The BBG-4490 mux/de-mux units are available in 4, 8, 12, 16, and 18-channel versions. Epoxy-free optical paths help ensure reliability over a wide range of operating conditions. The low-loss passive devices use no external power.
