Range of WDM transceivers perform in demanding of environments

ProLabs WDM transceivers are well suited to enable greater flexibility from fibre infrastructures. Due to their wavelength stabilising technology, the new range of transceivers can endure temperatures as low as -40°C to as high as 85°C which enable them to perform in the most demanding environments.

Most commercial temperature rated (0°C to 70°C) products can resist some fluctuations in temperature at initial deployment; however, high and low temperature cycles over time can cause instability in WDM circuits, causing the wavelengths to drift off of the centre wavelength, potentially causing network interruptions. Wavelength stabilisation technologies prevent instability and ensure trouble free operations over the life of a network.

CWDM and DWDM transmission allow service providers the ability to utilise existing infrastructure to drive fibre optics deeper into the network, closer to the customer. ProLabs new ITEMP WDM transceivers now offer service provides the ability to deploy worry-free WDM services outside the climate controlled locations, closer to the customer.

Ray Hagen, Product Manager at ProLabs commented: “ProLabs customers are in the midst of a remarkable network transformation. We listened to the needs for our customers to deploy WDM services in environments not historically hospitable for WDM technologies. We are pleased to have partnered with our customers to solve this issue and ensure stable and trouble free environments in their network”.
