DWDM over CWDM Channel Expansion

Increase your existing CWDM multiplexer link capacity by simply adding our passive DWDM Lite Expansion Units. Expansion units can be added to any existing CWDM multiplexer channels and are compatible with all manufacturer CWDM multiplexers. The ability to increase CWDM capacity is accomplished by the unit’s specially designed DWDM multiplexer that is capable of inserting 8 or 16 DWDM channels into unused CWDM channel bandwidth. The units are designed for easy installation onto live systems with minimal or no traffic interruptions, no power connection and no configuration required.
  • Expands CWDM multiplexer channel capacity to 8, or 16 channels
  • Install onto any one of the following CWDM multiplexer channels of 1531, 1551, 1571 or 1591nm
  • Existing CWDM multiplexer does not need to be removed or decommissioned
  • Easy to install, requires no setup
  • Environmentally friendly product, completely passive, no power and no cooling required for operation!
