Ciena 130-0302-900 ISS1 DWDM Card Multiwave Combiner Module

Overview

The Ciena ISS1 DWDM Card Multiwave Combiner Module (part number 130-0302-900) is a high-performance optical component designed to merge multiple wavelength channels into a single fiber with minimal loss. Engineered for modern dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, this module delivers reliable, low-latency operation in carrier, metro and data center environments. Its compact form factor and plug-and-play design simplify integration into existing Ciena platforms while supporting a broad range of channel spacings and power levels.
