This unit
The Siemens pureform DCF UDCMC50A is a dispersion compensation module engineered to counteract chromatic dispersion in optical networks. It delivers -862.00 ps/nm compensation, restoring signal integrity across extended transmission paths. Built on single-mode fiber, this module integrates into DWDM systems where multi-channel signal fidelity is essential.
The UDCMC50A enables longer reaches and improved signal quality in high-speed optical communication deployments.
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Dispersion Compensation Module (DCM)
- Dispersion Compensation Value: -862.00 ps/nm
- Fiber Type: Single-Mode Fiber
- Cable Type: Siemens single-mode fiber
- Condition: Available as used equipment; fully operational and functional
Key Features
- Negative dispersion compensation specifically matched for post-span equalization
- Single-mode fiber construction for compatibility with standard optical networks
- Designed for deterministic chromatic dispersion cancellation in DWDM architectures
Typical Applications
- Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems
- Long-haul and metro optical networks
- High-speed transmission systems requiring chromatic dispersion management
- Signal regeneration and reach extension in optical communications
Compatibility & Integration The UDCMC50A integrates into optical network infrastructure supporting single-mode fiber deployments. Typical applications span DWDM systems where dispersion compensation is required at the receiver or inline within the transmission path.
Siemens UDCMC50A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Siemens UDCMC50A. 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 UDCMC50A 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 UDCMC50A calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Siemens UDCMC50A 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 →
