What is a fiber optic multiplexer?
A fiber multiplexer is a device, where one input can be routed to a lot of different outputs, usually 16. It utilizes fiber optic technology, is usually controlled by use of software and a rotator block, and has an optical path that is actually coupled through several COL-UV/VIS collimating lenses. Other Multiplexers utilize CWDM and are relatively simple machines, that just insert different wavelengths of light.
A multiplexer (or mux) is a device that joins several data signals together and enables them to be transmitted over a single dark fiber network. Inversely, a demultiplexer is a takes a single input and selects signals of the output of the compatible mux, which is connected to the single input, and a shared selection line. A multiplexer is often used with a complementary demultiplexer on the receiving end. These mux/demuxers maximize the use of the dark fiber and minimize operating costs when multiple traffic channels need to be transported between several sites.
How does a fiber optic multiplexer work?
Fiber optic multiplexers are used at one end of a fiber optic cable so that many things can send information over the same wire. It is like a giant multi-input connector, allowing for several signal inputs which are later sent over a single strand of fiber optic cable. This information travels along this wire until it contacts with a demultiplexer, which is like an another attachment at the end of the cable that again splits up the signals and sends them on their way. In some cases, the far end system might have functionality greater than a simple demultiplexer, and while the demultiplexing still occurs technically, it may never be implemented discretely.
This would be typical when a multiplexer serves a number of IP network users and then feeds directly into a router, which immediately reads the content of the entire link into it’s routing procesor, and then does the demultiplexing in memory from where it would be converted directly into IP sections. Multiplexers are mainly used to increase the amount of data that can be sent over the network within a certain amount of time and bandwidth. A multiplexer is also called a data selector.
There are two different techniques used for multiplexing which have different grids or channel spacing. The first one is CWDM - Course Wavelength Division Multiplexing, which ranges from 1270nm to 1610nm with 20nm steps. The maximum numer of channels it can reach is 18. The other technique is DWDM, where the 'D' stands for Dense. This typically has a spacing of 0.8nm and is around 1550nm. The maximum amount of channels you are allowed to use is 80.
Inverse multiplexers – what does it mean
An inverse multiplexer allows a data stream to be broken into multiple lower data rate communication links. An inverse multiplexer varies from a demultiplexer because the multiple output streams from the former stay inter-related, whereas those from the latter are unrelated. An inverse multiplexer is the opposite of a multiplexer, in that it divides one high-speed link into multiple low-speed links, while a multiplexer combines multiple low-speed links into one high-speed link. Inverse multiplexers are used, for example, to combine a number of ISDN channels together into one high rate circuit, where a higher rate connection than can be available from a single ISDN connection is needed. This is particullary useful in areas, where higher rate circuits are not available. An alternative to an inverse multiplexer is using three separate links and loading sharing of data between them. In case of IP network packets could be sent in round-robin mode between each separate link. Advantages of using inverse multiplexing over separate links include: lower link latency, fairer load balancing and network simplicity.
