CWDM MUX/DEMUX (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer/Demultiplexer) is a flexible and low-cost solution that enables the expansion of existing fiber capacity. Coupled with highly reliable passive optics certified for environmentally hardened applications, the CWDM MUX/DEMUX solution lets operators make full use of available fiber bandwidth in local loop and enterprise architectures. The CWDM MUX/DEMUX modules split up to 18 channels (20 nm spaced) to a single fiber. The standard packages are ABS Plastic Box, 19" Rack Mount Chassis and LGX Metal Box.
