The HMD-16-200 is the DWDM Mux/Demux designed for node splitting applications and overlaying new business services on existing dark or traffic bearing fiber. Using the combination of the HMD-16-200 and the Strand Mounted Node Splitter SNS-16-200, MSOs can immediately achieve eight times the bandwidth increase bi-directionally over the existing fiber and save up to $20,000 per mile over new fiber deployment.

The Hub Mux/Demux overlays up to eight new narrowcast channels and up to eight new return channels in DWDM C-band, as well as a purple band broadcast channel, over the legacy 1310 nm fiber plant between the hub and the node. The HMD-16-200 future-proof architecture allows an operator to economically upgrade the network in multiple steps, starting from as low as only two new nodes. After initial installation subsequent upgrades will not require any service interruption. With the DWDM architecture, the optical signal can be amplified, thus allowing it to travel farther than the legacy 1310 nm signals.
