• Four independent channels for simultaneous Mux and Demux operations
• Optimized for OSC signals in the E band (covering 1360 to 1460 nm)
• Low insertion loss and high isolation to preserve signal quality
• Plug-and-play form factor compatible with Cisco optical platforms
• Robust mechanical design for harsh environmental conditions
• Supports remote monitoring and management via standard Cisco interfaces

Technical Specifications

• Number of channels: 4
• Operating wavelength range: 1360 nm to 1460 nm (OSC E band)
• Insertion loss: less than 0.5 dB per channel
• Channel isolation: greater than 30 dB
• Return loss: better than 20 dB
• Connector type: Standard LC duplex
• Operating temperature: -40 degrees to +85 degrees Celsius
