In multi-node, multi-service network environments, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems are the optimal choice. With the increasing complexity of modern network environments, building CWDM systems will become a skill every network engineer should master. Today, we'll delve into the selection, debugging, and construction of CWDM systems through this successful case study.
The client is a university professor who urgently needs to add a CWDM system demonstration solution to their classrooms. They want to explain and demonstrate this to students at the start of the new semester, allowing students to actually operate the system and improve their professional knowledge and practical skills. Therefore, the client needs a simple, easy-to-operate solution with clear and obvious principles that can intuitively improve teaching efficiency.
2.1 Classic passive CWDM architecture, supporting multi-rate mixed transmission and cross-device transmission, easily handling various complex network environments;
2.2 Fewer components, simple network structure, low complexity, convenient for hands-on practice;
2.3 Free installation and usage guidance throughout the process, provided in real-time via telephone, online video, and graphical tutorials to ensure smooth installation and efficient use by customers.
3.1 Multi-purpose Fiber: Simultaneously transmit multiple wavelength channels and multiple services on a single pair or single fiber using CWDM technology, increasing fiber transmission bandwidth;
3.2 Horizontal Scaling: The solution supports on-demand construction, with all ports available for on-demand activation, reducing resource waste. When service is saturated, the number of wavelengths can be horizontally expanded by adding ports to further increase service capacity;
3.3 Transparent Transmission: Supports real-time monitoring of service transmission, achieving millisecond-level response to link failures, reducing service interruption time caused by link failures.
To address customer needs, YXFiber has tailored two classic CWDM wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system solutions. The overall solution is centered around an 8CH CWDM Mux/Demux, utilizing 10G CWDM 10km optical modules to concentrate multiple services into a single fiber (single-fiber system) or two fibers (dual-fiber system), conserving fiber resources. The solution uses all passive components, effectively reducing teaching costs compared to active DWDM systems. Furthermore, the YXFiber technical team provides comprehensive free guidance to ensure smooth installation and efficient use of the equipment. The MUX adopted in the solution features a plug-and-play design, facilitating teaching demonstrations. The MUX is also equipped with a monitoring port for real-time link monitoring, allowing for real-time network monitoring and control of student learning progress during hands-on practice.
