Features
RG-MUX-EXT Transparent Distribution All-Optical Network Passive Device
- Transparent distribution expansion module on the building side. The optical splitter works together with RG-MUX-8LC/LC-H and provides short fibers and two uplink splitting ports, making it suitable for VSU networking scenarios.
Combination of Splitters and Transparent Distribution Devices Achieving Dual Uplinks for All-Optical Links, Improving Link Reliability Between the Core Network and Building
- The 8-port modular transparent distribution device together with splitters evenly distributes the optical power in a 50:50 ratio to two separate links. This setup allows for dual-uplink networks, effectively enhancing the reliability of the links between the core side and access side.

CWDM Transceiver
Note: The CWDM transceiver module is not installed on the transparent distribution device.
- CWDM transceivers are installed on core switches in the core equipment room, and are connected to the multiplexing port of the transparent distribution device through fiber trunk cables.
- The access-side CWDM transceiver is installed on the access switch in the building’s ELV room, and is interconnected with the demultiplexing port of the transparent distribution device through a short fiber.
