Request a quoteThe ClearSpectrum™ CDE is an ultra-compact chromatic dispersion emulator that uses TeraXion's fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology to emulate the chromatic dispersion of hundreds or thousands of kilometers of fiber within the volume of a single half 1U 19-inch rack module. The modules have ultra-low insertion loss and can be cascaded several times to emulate hundreds of thousands of picoseconds per nanometer of dispersion with no external power required.
TeraXion has developed the ClearSpectrum™ CDE as a space-saving and cost effective solution for researchers who need to emulate the chromatic dispersion of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers of fiber. The ultra-low insertion loss also reduces the number of amplifiers required for long-haul emulation, trimming expenses while saving laboratory space.
TeraXion's exclusive FBG technology enables the CDE to emulate thousands of kilometers of dispersion with ultra-low insertion loss within a single space-saving module.
Top 5 Features
![Low Insertion Loss](/media/1277/low-insertion.png?width=135)
Low Insertion Loss
The ClearSpectrum™ CDE significantly reduces the accumulated insertion loss caused by hundreds or thousands of kilometers of transport fiber, thus reducing the number of amplifiers needed when emulating very long fiber links.
![Cost-Effective](/media/1195/money.png?width=135)
Cost-Effective
The ClearSpectrum™ CDE eliminates the cost of purchasing and storing large fiber spools and reduces the number of amplifiers needed for long-haul transmission emulation.
![Wide Bandwidth](/media/1185/bandwidth.png?width=135)
Wide Bandwidth
The ClearSpectrum™ CDE supports bandwidths as high as 350 GHz.
![Massive Dispersion Levels](/media/1251/dispersion.png?width=135)
Massive Dispersion Levels
Dispersion emulation as high as 45,000 ps/nm per module. The CDE modules can be cascaded to emulate submarine networks dispersion levels.
![compact](/media/1186/compact.png?width=135)
Ultra-Compact
The ClearSpectrum™ CDE is available as either half 1U 19-inch rack-mountable or benchtop modules.
