(CWDM)
WDM or Dense WDM (DWDM) made a tremendous impact on
the long haul portion of the network by reducing the cost of
bandwidth.
1 Applications Ideal for Short haul Networks Ideal for Long haul Networks
2 Operating bands Full band (O~E) 1260 to 1610 nm can be Only C~L band 1530 to 1620 nm, utilized
