Product Description

Product Description The Cisco 15216-DCU-550 is a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Dense Channel Filter (DCF) designed for use with the Cisco ONS 15216 optical networking platform. This component provides precise optical filtering with a dispersion compensation capability of -550 ps/nm, ensuring optimal performance in high-capacity DWDM networks. The DCF helps to manage and mitigate chromatic dispersion in optical signals, enhancing signal integrity and reducing bit errors over long-distance optical links. Its high-performance design makes it suitable for applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency, such as telecommunications and large-scale enterprise networks.
