Application #1: Ordering a MicroVAM CWDM Module

Example A: One common port with four channels and a 1310 nm upgrade port.
Example A: Catalog number CWFMT-2LLBE0CY1000 was created from page 23 in the VAM catalog #101663AE:
T his catalog number example would have a common port for the incoming signal and four channels 1530 nm,
1510 nm, 1490 nm and 1470 nm. It would also have a 1310 upgrade port for legacy 1310 nm systems.

Application #2: Ordering a MicroVAM CWDM Module

Example B: Two common ports and two channels for each common port.
Example B: Catalog number CWFMT-2LLDC0CN2000:
T his catalog number example would have two incoming Common Ports and four channels,
and one Common Port for two channels.
This is a two circuit module with two channels per circuit.

ADC Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing CWDM VAM Module Ordering Guide and Information

Ordering Notes
MicroVam modules for FMT drawers and NG3 are six port front access only. This is due to space constraints.
All NG3 and FMT MicroVam module catalog numbers start with CWFMT-2.
Channel sequence for any CWDM module with more than one channel are configured from highest to lowest.
For example: Catalog number CWVMW-5LLBC0CN4000 is 1570 nm, 1550 nm, 1530 nm and 1510 nm.

Ordering Notes for 1310 Upgrade Ports

The 1310 nm upgrade or legacy port is not counted in the number of channels
in the ordering scheme.
For example, a customer could request four channels, four circuits and a 1310 nm
upgrade port. This module would be considered a four channel circuit with 1310
nm upgrade. An example catalog number would be CWVMW-577BACY4000.
WideVam module, common ports in rear, channels in front, SC connectors, four
channels starting with 1610 nm and going down in 20 nm increments, four channel
mux/demux, 1310 nm Upgrade, four circuits.
