Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)

Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) is a technology which multiplexes multiple optical signals on a single fiber optic strand by using different wavelengths, or colors, of laser light to carry the different signals. By utilizing bidirectional communications over a single strand of fiber, network managers can realize a multiplication effect in the capacity of their available fiber infrastructure.

Benefits of utilizing CWDM include:

• Increased Bandwidth/Capacity on Existing Fiber
• Ability to Mix Multiple Protocols and Network Speeds Over the Same Fiber
• Completely Passive Solution – No Electrical Equipment or Complicated Configuration
• Modular Design Allows For Plug and Play Functionality
