Optical Wavelength Splitter (OWS)

The Optical Wavelength Splitter (OWS201, OWS202, OWS203) is used to separate the various wavelengths that may be present in GPON, 10G PON, XGPON and NGPON2 networks to measure each specific signal level. A standard optical power meter such as the OPM510 or OPM210 can then be used to measure each signal without the need to purchase a costly DWDM OPM. The optical loss of the OWS200 is typically less than 0.1dB and as a result has marginal influence on the measurements. Currently, all models of the OWS200 support two individual wavelengths but systems with four and eight are also possible. The user selects the model that supports the system wavelengths that they intend to measure, which determines the model of OWS200.

The OWS201 allows the technician to measure 1490nm and 1570nm in overlayed 1G and 10G networks without influence from the adjacent wavelength.

The OWS202 allows the technician to measure 1490nm and 1577nm in overlayed 1G and 10G networks without influence from the adjacent wavelength.

The OWS203 allows the technician to measure 1490nm and 1550nm in 1G PON networks without influence from the adjacent wavelength
