The Patton Model TD-7280-L5B is an optical add/drop mux used in WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) systems for multiplexing and routing different channels of light into or out of a single mode fiber (SMF). A dedicated wavelength is assigned to any kind of voice, video or network traffic.
Each optical channel (light wave) is completely transparent to traffic type, protocol and compression scheme. OADMs are commonly used in point-to-point, linear, ring, star, and mesh topologies for a large variety of applications. This device is ideal for secure networking, including SCIF communications infrastructure.
