Dispersion Compensation Patch Cord

Proximion ́s patch cord integrated dispersion compensator (DCM‐PC) combines all the strengths of Proximion’s continuous Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology with the simplicity of an ordinary patch cord. By integrating an FBG with a patch cord, a very rugged and cost effective dispersion solution is achieved. This novel way of packaging FBGs results in easy system in‐design, effective system commissioning and valuable space savings.

Proximion’s DCM‐PC is the perfect solution for system vendors or operators that seek a straightforward, flexible and cost effective solution. The DCM‐PC addresses a broad application space, reaching from basic TDM based metropolitan and regional networks, to channel or sub‐band specific residual dispersion compensation in submarine DWDM terminals.

The ruggedness, unique form factor and temperature insensitivity of the patch cord DCM enables direct placement on the fiber tray, thereby making dispersion compensation an integral part of the fiber routing rather than the module based terminal structure.
