Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. Announces the Release of Coarse WDM for Metro Access Network Applications.Business/Technology Editors SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2001 Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFOP AFOP Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. AFOP Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs AFOP Association Française des industries de l'Optique et de la Photonique AFOP and for other purposes AFOP acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia ), a leading supplier of fiber optic components and integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today announced the release of its SpectraMux(TM) line of 4-channel and 8-channel Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing See CWDM. (CWDM (Course WDM) An optical transmission method that is used for shorter distances than dense WDM (DWDM). Also known as "wide WDM," CWDM transmits fewer channels and uses wider spacing between the channels for distances up to 60 km. Wider spacing up to 25 nm, compared to 1. ) modules for cost-effective multichannel access network applications. AFOP's SpectraMux line of CWDM modules allows for extended temperature performance; other features include high adjacent band isolation, high center wavelength accuracy and stability, low insertion loss, high directivity, an epoxy-free optical path, and low polarization dependent loss. AFOP's CWDM is available packaged in an LGX LGX Logistics LGX Light Guide Cross-connect LGX Linux / GNU / X LGX Light Guide Crossconnect (Ciena) (R) module or a board mount cassette with most connector terminations available. AFOP also offers custom wavelengths, channel configurations and packaging of its CWDM.
