This unit
The Siemens pureform DCF UDCMC20 is a passive dispersion compensation module engineered to counteract chromatic dispersion in optical fiber communication systems. It delivers -342.00 ps/nm of negative dispersion compensation, enabling signal integrity preservation and extended transmission reach in high-bit-rate DWDM networks without regeneration. The module utilizes dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) technology and operates across the C-Band wavelength range (1525 nm to 1565 nm).
Technical Specifications
- Dispersion Compensation Value: -342.00 ps/nm
- Core Technology: Negative Dispersion Compensation Fiber (DCF)
- Fiber Type: Single-Mode
- Operating Wavelength Range: C-Band (1525 nm to 1565 nm)
- Dispersion Slope Compensation: Nominal 100 percent dispersion slope compensation for standard single-mode fibers
- Module Type: Passive
Key Features
- Mitigates chromatic dispersion-induced signal spreading and distortion over long transmission distances
- Reduces residual dispersion in optical transmission paths
- Designed for compatibility with ITU G.652 compliant single-mode fibers, including Corning SMF-28™
- Enhances overall DWDM system performance through dispersion slope matching
Typical Applications
- Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems
- Long-haul and ultra-long-haul optical communication networks
- High-bit-rate transmission systems requiring extended reach
- Standard single-mode fiber transmission optimization
Compatibility & Integration The UDCMC20 complements standard single-mode transmission fibers in modern optical networks. Its dispersion compensation characteristics align with ITU G.652 fiber standards, enabling direct integration into existing DWDM architectures and long-distance communication infrastructure.

Siemens UDCMC20 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Siemens UDCMC20. 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 UDCMC20 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.
