Compact 1U All-In-One Solution for Space and Deployment Efficiency

In today’s data-driven landscape, space efficiency, fast deployment, and simplified network infrastructure are key priorities for data centers and telecom providers. The DCP 920 addresses these needs by integrating multiple optical components into a compact 1U rack-mounted platform, offering both performance and efficiency in one solution.

🔧 All-in-One Integration: Core Functions Combined

The DCP 920 brings together the following optical transmission functionalities into a unified chassis:

  • MUX/DEMUX (Multiplexer/Demultiplexer) – Supports DWDM channels for high-capacity transmission over a single fiber.

  • TDCM (Tunable Dispersion Compensation Module) – Adjusts chromatic dispersion to stabilize signal quality over long distances.

  • DCM (Dispersion Compensation Module) – Provides fixed dispersion management to reduce intersymbol interference.

  • VOA (Variable Optical Attenuator) – Controls signal power levels to ensure optimal receiver sensitivity.

  • EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) – Boosts signal strength without converting to electrical format.

  • R/B (Red/Blue Filter) – Enables bi-directional transmission and wavelength routing.

By consolidating these components, DCP 920 simplifies long-haul and metro DWDM deployments, eliminating the need for multiple external units and excessive cabling.

🧩 Key Benefits of DCP 920

1️⃣ Space Optimization

  • 1U footprint significantly reduces rack space usage

  • Ideal for high-density co-location or edge data centers with limited real estate

2️⃣ Simplified Cabling & Maintenance

  • Internal interconnection of optical functions means fewer patch cords, reduced human error, and faster MTTR (mean time to repair)

3️⃣ Reduced Deployment Time

  • Pre-integrated functions minimize time needed for onsite setup and testing

  • Factory-configured modules shorten project timelines

4️⃣ Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

  • Eliminates need for multiple discrete devices (MUX, DCM, EDFA, etc.)

  • Less equipment = lower power consumption and cooling demands

5️⃣ Enhanced Flexibility & Modularity

  • Suitable for various network architectures, including point-to-point, ring, and hub-spoke

  • Supports 10G to 400G DWDM applications

🌐 Applications

The DCP 920 is an ideal solution for:

  • Enterprise Data Center Interconnect (DCI)

  • Metro and Regional DWDM transport

  • 5G Fronthaul and Backhaul networks

  • Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity links

  • Optical Layer Upgrades for legacy systems

🏁 Summary

The DCP 920 is more than just an optical platform—it’s a strategic solution for organizations that value space efficiency, streamlined deployment, and operational simplicity. Whether upgrading an existing network or building out new DWDM capacity, the DCP 920 offers a smart path forward in a single compact unit.
