Overview
The EM316DCM060 and EM316DCM100 Dispersion Compensation
Modules are part of the Fiber Driver® DWDM solution. They are
two-slot modules accommodated by either the Fiber Driver two-
slot or sixteen-slot chassis. These modules may be operated as
passive units in an un-powered chassis or as managed modules
with an EM316LNXNM-OT Network Manager (NM) in a powered
chassis system.
DCM modules provide fixed chromatic dispersion compensation
for high-speed metro core, regional, and extended-haul DWDM
networks. Chromatic dispersion is a major distance limiting factor
in DWDM networks for protocols exceeding 2 Gbps including 2
and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel, 2.5 and 2.7 Gbps SONET/SDH OC-48/
STM16 with or without FEC, and especially networks running 10
Gbps.
The DCMs offer a high dispersion compensation level and a very
low insertion loss penalty. They provide negative dispersion
compensation over the full C-Band with possible distance
extensions of up to 100 kilometers.
