SWDM Technology
Fibrain family SWDM series of multiplexers is produced using the FBT (Fused Biconical Tapering) technology that is based on fusing narrowed cores of optical fibers. They are the simplest optical filters used for WDM transmission. They are characterized by large resistance to varying conditions in external networks, low insertion and reflection losses. These devices are designed for separation of optical signals transmitted at different wavelengths.
