GAO Tek’s fiber optics Mux/Demux & switches have the following functions:

• Multiplexing: GAO’s multiplexers combine multiple input signals of different wavelengths or channels into a single composite signal for transmission over a shared medium, such as a fiber optic cable.
• Demultiplexing: Our demultiplexers separate the composite signal received from the transmission medium into individual signals, directing them to their respective output ports.
• Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM): GAO’s Mux/Demux employs WDM technology, where different input signals are assigned different wavelengths (colors) for transmission, allowing multiple signals to coexist on a single fiber.
• Increase Network Capacity: Our Mux/Demux enables increased network capacity by allowing multiple data streams or channels to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber optic cable.

GAO Tek’s fiber optics Mux/Demux & switches are rugged, versatile, and precision measurement instruments. They comply with applicable industry standards such as International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standards, International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Our fiber optics Mux/Demux & switches help our customers comply with relevant U.S. government regulations such as:

• Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
• Department of Defense (DoD)

Our fiber optics Mux/Demux & switches help our clients in complying with relevant Canadian government regulations such as:

• Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
• Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
• Measurement Canada Requirements
• Canadian Standards Association (CSA)

Our fiber optics Mux/Demux & switches have the following applications:

• Long-haul Telecommunications: Our Mux/Demux devices are used in long-haul telecommunications networks to multiplex and demultiplex multiple channels or wavelengths onto a single fiber.
• Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Systems: GAOTek’s Mux/Demux devices are used in WDM systems, where multiple signals with different wavelengths are combined and separated. WDM systems are employed in fiber optic communication networks to transmit multiple signals simultaneously, significantly increasing the network's data capacity.
• Cable Television (CATV) Distribution: Our Mux/Demux devices are used in CATV networks to combine and separate video, audio, and data signals for distribution over fiber optic cables. They enable efficient transmission of multiple TV channels, on-demand content, and high-speed data services to subscribers.
• Network Routing and Switching: GAO’s switches are used in data networks to direct optical signals between different fiber optic paths or channels. They enable efficient data routing and switching, ensuring that data is delivered to the intended destinations.
• Network Protection and Redundancy: Our fiber optic switches are utilized in network protection schemes, such as optical protection switching and network redundancy.
• Test and Measurement Systems: GAO fiber optic switches are used in test and measurement applications, such as optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) and optical signal analysis.
• Optical Signal Monitoring: Our switches can be employed for optical signal monitoring and tapping. By selectively routing signals to monitoring equipment, they enable network operators to analyze and monitor the performance, quality, and integrity of optical signals in real time.

Our fiber optics Mux/Demux & switches can be shipped overnight within the continental U.S. and Canada, and can be shipped globally.
