8 channel LC/UPC Overview:
8 channel LC/UPC – DWDM (full name: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is an optical multiplexing technology used to increase bandwidth over existing fiber networks.
– DWDM works by combining and transmitting multiple signals simultaneously at different wavelengths on the same fiber. The technology creates multiple virtual fibers, thus multiplying the capacity of the physical medium.
– WDM has revolutionized the cost per bit of transport.
– DWDM, fiber networks can carry multiple Terabits of data per second over thousands of kilometers – at cost points unimaginable less than a decade ago. State-of-the-art DWDM systems support up to 192 wavelengths on a single pair of fiber, with each wavelength transporting up to 100Gbit/s capacity – 400Gbit/s and one Terabit/s on the horizon.
