A passive MUX/DEMUX unit that allows the combining of up to eight fiber links into one. And you can split it up again later! Upgraded version – featuring a handy EXP/1310 expansion port!

The CWDM is a passive MUX/DEMUX unit, which allows to combine up to eight fiber links into one, to simplify and reduce the cost of long distance fiber installations. At the other location, the combined line is split back up again, so that instead of eight long fiber lines, you would only need one. The Coarse Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology offers a solution which will increase capacity of existing fiber infrastructure by enabling multiple channels/wavelengths over the same fiber cabling and will reduce costs for a new fiber optic deployment.

This is an upgraded revision of CWDM. Based on your feedback, we have decided to replace the rarely used MON port with the practical EXP/1310 expansion port. With this addition, you can now use regular optical modules alongside other CWDM modules. The EXP/1310 port supports all 1310nm SFP /SFP+ / SFP28 / QSFP / QSFP28 modules up to 100 Gbps.  

You can use a single optical fiber cable to create up to eight independent 1.25Gbps SFP (up to 40km) or 10Gbps SFP+ (up to 10km) links, offering more affordable alternative to installing more fiber or leasing additional fibers. You can even use 1.25Gbps modules and 10Gbps modules at the same time.
