This unit
The Siemens Pureform DCF UDCMC40 is a Dispersion Compensation Module engineered to counteract chromatic dispersion in optical fiber communication systems. By compensating for dispersive effects across the transmission path, this module extends reach and preserves signal integrity in high-speed data networks. The UDCMC40 delivers -663 ps/nm of dispersion compensation using single mode fiber technology, making it suitable for systems where chromatic dispersion mitigation is critical to link performance and reliability.
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM)
- Dispersion Compensation: -663 ps/nm
- Fiber Type: Single Mode Fiber
Key Features
- Negative dispersion compensation value optimized for post-compensating standard single mode fiber links
- Single mode fiber construction for integration into existing optical architectures
- Part of the Siemens Pureform DCF product family, which offers multiple dispersion values (UDCMC128P, UDCMC60LL, UDCMC20 and others) to match diverse system requirements
Typical Applications
- Long-haul optical transmission systems
- Metropolitan and regional network spans requiring dispersion management
- Point-to-point fiber links in systems experiencing cumulative chromatic dispersion
- Network upgrades where dispersion penalty limits transmission distance
Compatibility & Integration The UDCMC40 integrates into optical fiber communication systems requiring chromatic dispersion compensation. Selection of the -663 ps/nm compensation value depends on the accumulated dispersion over the transmission path. Other models in the Siemens Pureform DCF series provide alternative compensation values to address different span lengths and fiber types within network deployments.
Siemens UDCMC40 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Siemens UDCMC40. 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 UDCMC40 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 UDCMC40 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Siemens UDCMC40 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 →
