DWDM MUX/DeMUX

C-LIGHT DWDM MUX/DeMUX (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer/Demultiplexer) is a core capacity-expanding component in optical fiber networks. By multiplexing dozens to hundreds of optical signals with different wavelengths onto a single fiber, it overcomes the capacity limits of traditional fiber. Supporting C/L bands, flexible grid (Flex Grid), and high channel density (96+ wavelengths), it delivers ultra-high-speed (terabit-level), low-latency transmission for data center interconnects (DCI), 5G transport networks, and backbone networks. Additionally, it reduces reliance on fiber resources and operational costs, making it a critical technology for building future-proof, high-reliability, and high-capacity networks.
