Passive CWDM vs Active CWDM

Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) is an optical multiplexing technology used for increasing the bandwidth of fiber. It works by combining optical signals of different wavelengths on one strand of fiber. Usually, CWDM is able to transport up to 18 … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
