CWDM MUX/DeMUX
C-LIGHT CWDM MUX/DeMUX (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer/Demultiplexer) is a cost-effective solution for fiber network capacity expansion. By multiplexing 18 wavelengths (20nm spacing, 1270~1610nm range) onto a single fiber, it enables multi-service transmission over medium to short-haul distances (<80km). With advantages such as low power consumption, simplified deployment, and reduced equipment costs, it is widely used in enterprise network interconnection, data center aggregation, and 5G fronthaul. Particularly suited for small-to-medium networks with limited fiber resources and cost sensitivity, CWDM enhances capacity while significantly lowering deployment and operational complexity.

    C-LIGHT CWDM MUX/DeMUX is a passive coarse wavelength division multiplexing solution designed to expand fiber network capacity by combining multiple optical wavelengths onto a single fiber and separating them at the receiving end. It supports up to 18 wavelengths with 20nm channel spacing across the 1270–1610nm range, making it suitable for medium- and short-haul transmission distances of less than 80km. With low power consumption, simplified deployment, and flexible form factors, CWDM MUX/DeMUX provides a practical solution for enterprise networks, data center aggregation, and 5G fronthaul.

    Key Features of CWDM MUX/DeMUX

    18-Channel CWDM Capacity

    CWDM technology supports up to 18 optical wavelengths, allowing multiple services to share a single fiber and increasing network capacity without adding new fiber infrastructure.

    20nm Channel Spacing

    The 20nm wavelength spacing provides a practical CWDM architecture with simpler wavelength planning and less stringent thermal control requirements than dense wavelength systems.

    1270–1610nm Wavelength Range

    The CWDM platform supports wavelengths across the 1270–1610nm range for flexible multi-channel optical transmission.

    Single-Fiber and Dual-Fiber Options

    Single-fiber and dual-fiber configurations are available to match different network architectures and fiber resource requirements.

    Low Power Consumption

    As a passive optical solution, CWDM MUX/DeMUX does not require an independent power supply, helping simplify deployment and reduce operational complexity.

    Flexible Form Factors

    1U rack, LGX, and ABS package options support installation in rack-mounted systems, modular chassis, and compact optical distribution environments.

    CWDM MUX/DeMUX Configurations

    4CH CWDM

    4-channel configurations provide a compact option for networks requiring a limited number of wavelengths and moderate capacity expansion.

    8CH CWDM

    8-channel configurations provide additional wavelength capacity for enterprise interconnection, access networks, and data center aggregation.

    16CH CWDM

    16-channel configurations support higher-density wavelength deployment while maintaining the straightforward architecture of CWDM technology.

    18CH CWDM

    18-channel configurations utilize the full wavelength range of the platform and provide maximum channel capacity for suitable CWDM network applications.

    CWDM MUX/DeMUX Product Options

    Dual-Fiber CWDM

    Dual-fiber configurations use separate fibers for transmission and reception, providing a conventional architecture for bidirectional CWDM networks.

    Single-Fiber CWDM

    Single-fiber configurations support bidirectional transmission over one fiber, helping conserve fiber resources in suitable network designs.

    LC, SC, and ST Connectors

    LC, SC, and ST connector options are available to match different fiber infrastructure and installation requirements.

    1310nm Expansion and Monitoring

    Selected configurations include a +1310nm expansion or monitoring option for additional optical network functions and future capacity planning.

    CWDM MUX/DeMUX vs DWDM MUX/DeMUX

    CWDM MUX/DeMUX

    CWDM uses wider 20nm channel spacing and supports up to 18 wavelengths across 1270–1610nm. It is particularly suitable for short- and medium-haul networks where cost, simplicity, and fiber capacity expansion are key considerations.

    DWDM MUX/DeMUX

    DWDM uses much narrower wavelength spacing and supports higher channel density, making it more suitable for high-capacity metro, backbone, and long-distance optical transport systems.

    CWDM MUX/DeMUX Applications

    Enterprise Network Interconnection

    CWDM allows multiple optical services to share existing fiber resources, making it suitable for enterprise network interconnection and infrastructure expansion.

    Data Center Aggregation

    The passive architecture and flexible channel options provide an efficient way to aggregate multiple optical links where fiber resources are limited.

    5G Fronthaul

    CWDM wavelength multiplexing can support multi-channel optical transport in 5G fronthaul networks while helping reduce fiber deployment requirements.

    Short- and Medium-Haul Transmission

    With transmission distances below 80km, CWDM is well suited to regional, campus, metro-access, and other short- to medium-distance fiber links.

    Why Choose C-LIGHT CWDM MUX/DeMUX
