This unit
The Siemens Pureform DCF UDCM-C20LL is a dispersion compensation module engineered to mitigate chromatic dispersion in optical fiber communication systems. This single-mode fiber accessory delivers -342 ps/nm of dispersion compensation, enabling signal integrity over extended transmission distances by counteracting the wavelength-dependent propagation delays inherent to optical fiber.
Technical Specifications
- Dispersion Compensation: -342 ps/nm
- Fiber Type: Single-Mode
- Module Classification: Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM)
Key Features
- Negative dispersion value enables chromatic dispersion cancellation in standard single-mode fiber links
- Modular design integrates into existing optical transport infrastructure
- Designed for long-haul and metro optical communication deployments where dispersion management is critical
Typical Applications
- Optical fiber communication systems requiring chromatic dispersion compensation
- Long-distance transmission systems where accumulated dispersion limits signal quality
- Integration into optical line terminals and add/drop multiplexers
- Bandwidth extension in existing fiber infrastructure
Compatibility & Integration The UDCM-C20LL functions as an accessory component within optical fiber communication infrastructure. System integration requires compatibility assessment with existing optical transport architectures. For specific integration requirements, application notes, or technical guidance, contact Siemens or a certified optical equipment distributor. Used units are available in the secondary market. Reseller-provided warranty terms and calibration services may apply depending on vendor.
Siemens UDCM-C20LL — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Siemens UDCM-C20LL. Calibration covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Siemens UDCM-C20LL faults: motor and gear mechanism wear (attenuation steps or loss of smooth control), optical port contamination, EEPROM calibration data corruption. Most common faults are motor or gear mechanism wear on variable attenuators causing attenuation steps or loss of smooth control, optical port contamination reducing dynamic range, and EEPROM calibration data corruption on digitally controlled models.

Siemens UDCM-C20LL calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Siemens UDCM-C20LL is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument covers attenuation accuracy at 5 or more set values across the full range (0 to rated maximum dB), attenuation linearity, wavelength-dependent attenuation at 1310 nm, 1490 nm, and 1550 nm, insertion loss at minimum attenuation (0 dB position), and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) where applicable. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
