This unit
The Siemens Pureform DCF UDCMC5 is a passive dispersion compensation module (DCM) that counteracts chromatic dispersion in optical fiber communication systems. With a compensation value of -87.40 ps/nm and nominal 100 percent dispersion slope compensation, the UDCMC5 maintains signal integrity across extended transmission distances in DWDM and long-haul networks. The module eliminates pulse-broadening effects caused by wavelength-dependent propagation delays, preventing bit errors and ensuring optimal signal quality without introducing modulation format or speed dependencies.
Technical Specifications
- Dispersion Compensation Value: -87.40 ps/nm
- Dispersion Slope Compensation: Nominal 100 percent
- Target Fiber Type: Standard single-mode optical fiber (G.652)
- Wavelength Range: C-Band (1525 nm to 1565 nm)
- Modulation Format Independence: Speed and format-independent compensation
- Channel Effects: No channelization effects or penalties
- Power Consumption: Passive module - no external power required
- Compliance: Telcordia GR-2854-CORE and GR-1221-CORE standards
Key Features
- Passive design eliminates external power requirements and associated complexity
- Operates across the full C-Band wavelength range without format-specific limitations
- Complete dispersion slope compensation reduces residual dispersion across multiple channels
- No penalty or penalty-free operation for any modulation scheme or transmission speed
Typical Applications
- DWDM transmission systems requiring residual dispersion reduction
- Long-haul and ultra-long-haul optical networks
- Metropolitan area networks with extended reach requirements
- SDH/SONET systems
- Cable television AM video links
- CATV systems
Compatibility & Integration The UDCMC5 integrates into multi-vendor DWDM transport architectures alongside transponders and optical amplifiers. Compatible with standard single-mode fiber deployments operating within the C-Band wavelength window.

Siemens UDCMC5 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Siemens UDCMC5. 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 UDCMC5 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 UDCMC5 calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Siemens UDCMC5 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 →
