The TG-Series consists of cost-effective, passive optical WDM products. Designed for access applications, the TG-Series provides one of the most compact WDM access solutions on the market.

The TG-Series fits a wide range of applications, from the controlled environment of central offices to street cabinets or even manhole applications that require environmentally hardened products.

The TG-Series supports point-to-point, mesh, bus and ring-based network topologies and can be used in a number of network scenarios such as Fiber To The Curb (FTTC) and high-security access networks. The optical modules are available in different form factors, including rack-mounted modules for central offices and street cabinets. There are also modules for splice enclosures that are ideal for use in harsh environments like manholes.

The TG-Series is designed for simple adaptation to specific customer requirements as well as trouble-free installation and commissioning. The series is fully compatible and interoperable with the TM-Series and the TS-Series filters and active units. This gives network operators a simple upgrade path to fully active WDM solutions.

TG-Series features and benefits:

• Supports point-to-point, mesh, bus and ring-network architectures.
• Network security is significantly increased by the possibility to create network spurs that only contain the wavelengths specific to the add/drop node.
• Single Fiber and Fiber Pair support extends the TG-Series flexibility and increases its cost effectiveness.
• A variety of building practices lets the TG-Series support a range of deployments; from controlled central offices to underground chamber or manhole applications.
• Simple installation and commissioning means low training requirements and lower OPEX.
• Highly adaptable to specific customer requirements.
• A passive design with no need for power or software/management means lower costs and less environmental impact.
• High density with 1u and 3u racks means very compact filter housing
