The add section includes a 1 x 8 splitter that receives signals through eight input C1 IN to C8 IN connectors,
combines them, and provides the resulting signal at the LINE OUT connector. An isolator on the output line
prevents reflection from the connected WSS. In addition, a sample of the output add-signal is connected to
the monitoring port MON, enabling monitoring the signal for test or maintenance purposes.

8.3.1 MXD44/MXD44_P
The MXD44/MXD44_P is a DWDM Mux/DeMux card for 44 channels in the C band (Ch. 17-Ch. 60) with 100
GHz spacing and E/W configuration. The MXD44/MXD44_P occupies a double slot in the OPT9624 and
OPT9608 platforms. All connections to the card are made from the front panel and all connectors are LC
type.
The MXD44 and MXD44_P cards are very similar. The only difference between them is that the system
management can detect and read the MXD44 properties (like the Serial No. and HW Rev.), while the
MXD44_P is a totally passive and doesn't support this option.
NOTE: The MXD44/MXD44_P is supported in the Artemis 1P/2PE/2A/4A platforms and in the
following Apollo platforms:
OPT9624
OPT9608
OPT9603
