FIMA

About the Product

The Fiber Integrated Multi Access Platform (FIMA) is a modular headend wavelength division multiplexer as well as optical splitter platform available in a 19 inch 1RU and 4RU form-factor.

The FIMA can be configured for standard WDM applications (1310/1550 nm), for CWDM applications (up to 8 wavelengths 1271 ~ 1611 nm), for DWDM applications (up to 16 wavelengths 1529.55 ~ 1560.61 nm), or for OSF applications (splitter/coupler, up to 1x 16 way). In addition, multiple combinations of passive wavelength division multiplexers can be used for customized applications.

The module for FIMA is designed with SC/APC (for 9 or 10 ports) or LC/APC (for 18 or 20 ports) connectors, allowing for simplified operation and installation. The passive optical device uses proven Fused Biconic Taper (FBT) techniques, thin film fiber technology, and a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) design to minimize insertion loss and provide high wavelength isolation.
