2.5 Interconnecting & Cross-Connecting Along with
Special Function Modules
You can use Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and splitter modules in LCX panels.
Figure 29 shows one way a 48-fiber IFC is spliced and then interconnected via splitters/WDMs to
network elements.
Notice that three, 3RU LCX Configurable Panels with dual, 1-to-3 splitters (or dual WDMs) are
required for splitting/de-multiplexing the 48 incoming fiber signals.
You can use dedicated LCX Patch Panels to interconnect/cross-connect the split/de-multiplexed
signals with the network elements. In such case,
•
Splitting 48 signals three ways requires a 4RU LCX Patch Panel with 144 adapters.
•
De-multiplexing 48 signals into two wavelengths requires a 4RU LCX Patch Panel with
96 adapters.
