With the need for bandwidth increases, the WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology was developed to expand network capacity over a single fiber. It uses a multiplexer (Mux) at the transmitter to combine several signals together, and a demultiplexer (DeMux) at the receiver to split them apart. Most WDM systems operate on 9µm single-mode fiber optical […]

An Introduction of CWDM Fiber Optic Splice Tray
When we talk about CWDM Tray, it means the CWDM splcie tray but not the rack mount “CWDM Tray”. A CWDM splice tray is a fiber optic splice tray that can be integrated with CWDM components (e.g. CWDM MUX). The CWDM tray allows for easy integration in enclosures, wall-mount boxes, or Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs). […]
Advanced Optical Components – WDM Multiplexer
WDM Multiplexer is a device that uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology to combine different optical wavelengths from two or more optical fibers into just one optical fiber. This combining or coupling of the wavelengths can be very useful in increasing the bandwidth of a fiber optic system. WDM multiplexers are used in pairs: one […]
Using CWDM Technology To Construct Cost-Effective Fiber Networks
The utilization of fiber optic cables for communication has opened up gates for communication multiplexing technologies that increase the capabilities at minimum costs. Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) modulates different wavelength laser beams with multiple signals. Essentially, what this means is maximized utilization of a single fiber optic to deliver and get a large number […]
Multiplex Your Fiber by Using CWDM or DWDM
Using a WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) for expanding the capacity of the fiber to carry multiple client interfaces is a highly advisable way as the physical fiber optic cabling is not cheap. As WDM widely used you must not unfamiliar with it, it is a technology that combines several streams of data/storage/video or voice protocols on the […]
Multiplexer and Demultiplexer Based on CWDM
Before the introduction of CWDM multiplexer, it is necessary to mention the CWDM technology. Originally, the term “coarse wavelength division multiplexing” (CWDM) was fairly generic, and meant a number of different things. In general, these things shared the fact that the choice of channel spacings and frequency stability was such that erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) […]
