If you need to get multiple signals to travel a distance over a single strand of fiber in stadiums and other large venues, you’ll want to check out Apantac’s new CWDM card for openGear. The OG-CWDM-MUX multiplexer is accompanied by a receiver card that demuxes everything, the OG-CWDM-DeMUX.
The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer card provides a convenient way to transport 4 inputs of SDI up to 12G on a single fiber as far as 10 kilometers away. You can cascade up to 4 cards, allowing you to transport 16 signals on a single fiber.
Thomas Tang, founder and president of Apantac, spoke with Simon Tillyer from KitPlus at IBC 2026 about Apantac’s openGear lineup.
Thomas said, “Every year we come out with 2 or 3 new cards, right? So over the years we now have over 50, just a little under 60 cards. So you can see there’s a good catalog of these cards.”
There’s something for everyone in the Apantac line of openGear cards. To see what’s available and find out more about the OG-CWDM-MUX and OG-CWDM-DeMUX, visit apantac.com.
