Introduction of 18 Channel CWDM Mux/Demux for 10G Network

Imagine turning a cottage into a majestic skyscraper without any innovation or construction. This is what Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) allows with your existing fiber optic network. Without deploying additional optical fiber, WDM network mux multiplexes multiple optical signal on a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths, which greatly relieves [ Continue reading…]
