Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) Key Features: Uses uncooled lasers, significantly lower cost per channel, simpler design, lower power consumption. Within the WDM domain, two primary architectures dominate: Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) and Dense. In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i. Learn all about CWDM, how it differs from DWDM, and whether a CWDM solution is right for your business's network.
