Years ago I was able to purchase 2-Channel CWDM Plug-In 1-Wavelength Optical Add/Drop Multiplexors from Finisar with SC/APC connectors on them, even though they normally only make the SC/PC version shown here:
FWSF-OADM-1-xx-SC http://www.finisar.com/products/passives/MUX-DEMUX/CWDM_OADM-1_Plug-in_Module but they won't do the SC/APC version for me now. Does anyone know of a good alternative? There are lots of options for modular/rack mount 2-Channel CWDM Add/Drops that have SC/PC or LC/PC connectors made for data networks. There are also lots of options for 1-Channel SC/APC or LC/APC modules made for CATV applications. But I'm having trouble finding 2-Channel versions with APC connectors that I can use with data equipment + CATV transmission on the same ring. I know I could combine two separate 1-Channel OADMs, but I prefer the integrated, modular solution. A bonus would be to find an alternative that fits in my existing Finisar 2-slot 1U chassis. In any case, I'm open to hearing about all options. Actually, I already have the 1490nm OADM in the SC/PC version, and I suppose I could cut off the connectors re-terminate with SC/APC and replace the bulkhead connectors with the green ones. My preferred fiber contractor doesn't have experience with terminating APC connectors though. Is it that much harder to terminate the angled connectors? Thanks, Chuck
