OPTICAL FIBER CHANNEL DOUBLER
Optical Fiber Channel Doubler (OFCD) is a totally passive
optical device capable of doubling fiber utilization. It
converts fiber optics simplex transmission mode (one fiber for
each transmit and receive) into full duplex transmission
(bi-directional traffic in a single fibre).This is achieved
without wavelength conversions and without power supplies.

OFCD is fully developed from passive optical components,
which is its main advantage. The manufacturing cost is low and
the reliability is high. It has ushered in a new era of optical
communication systems with full duplex communication in a single
fiber core. OFCD doubles up fiber utilization and at the same
time, maintains data transmission quality and performance.
