 The WDM88 is part of the Fiber DriverT 
line of Coarse Wave Division Multiplexers from MRV Communications. Using eight 
wavelengths, it multiplexes eight separate data channels onto one fiber trunk. 
It effectively multiplies the capacity of available fiber by a factor of eight, 
delivering high-speed bandwidth at Full Duplex.
 
 Link distances of up to 
65 km are possible, making the WDM88 ideally suited to Metro, Campus, and 
Government/Military environments. With support for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre 
Channel, FICON, and ESCON, it is an excellent solution for a wide range of 
applications including migration from legacy protocols such as FDDI and Fast 
Ethernet, increasing network capacity in fiber limited areas, and creating or 
extending SANs.
 
 Applications for OC48 (2.5 Gig) Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre 
Channel and FICON protocols are available as either a 19" rack-mount standalone 
(1 U) or as a 5-slot Fiber Driver Chassis module. The ESCON systems come in a 
pre-configured 19" rack-mountable chassis (2.5 U) with a built-in 
NMS.
 
 For fiber-limited installations, Single Fiber versions of the WDM88 
are available, providing the same level of performance over a single fiber 
strand up to a distance of 35 km. Three of the 5-slot modules can be managed in 
just one of the Fiber Driver 16-slot chassis, achieving a high density of 24 
ports in just 2.5 U of rack space while using a total of only three fibers for 
the trunk.
