CWDM Technology: Access-to-Light
Overview CWDM is a technology that can be useful as a fiber gain device. Acting only on the optical layer, the CWDM devices are simple and compact. AFC’s advantage is its capability to be deployed in outside plant applications. CWDM can be used in a protection mode at the optical layer, or it can be used in an unprotected mode, utilizing the protection layer of the services that it is transporting. This white paper briefly describes the CWDM technology and its features.
