Expand the Capacity of Fiber Networks

Multiplexing Wavelengths

Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) increases the capacity of fiber networks to enable new applications and connect more users. Each CWDM wavelength is an independent data channel that can transport a different protocol (Ethernet, TDM, etc.) and data rate (up to 10 gigabits each).
