The SNS-16-200 is the industry-first, DWDM-based node splitter designed for optical node segmentation and overlaying new business services on existing dark or traffic bearing fiber. Using the combination of the SNS-16-200 and the HMD-16-200 Hub Mux/Demux , 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 Strand Mounted Node Splitter overlays up to eight new narrowcast channels and up to eight new return channels in the DWDM C-band, as well as a 1545 nm "purple band" broadcast channel, over the legacy 1310 nm fiber plant between the hub and the node.

The SNS-16-200 future-proof architecture allows an operator to economically upgrade network in multiple steps, starting from as few 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 using EDFAs, thus allowing it to travel farther than the legacy 1310 nm signals.
