• Why choose a packetlight 1U solution?

  PacketLight solutions have embedded optional encryption that enables secured transport of up to 400G per wavelength. PacketLight’s product suite is reliable and cost-effective, and the most integrated 1U solution of its kind.

• What is DWDM fiber optic design?

  Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a breed of fiber optics that is specifically geared towards extremely data-intense operations. Meeting those data-intense needs is primarily accomplished through two facets of DWDM design. For starters, this is multiplexed fiber optics.

• What is DWDM technology used for?

  DWDM Network Technology Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology combines multiple wavelengths into a single optical fiber. This technique enables better fiber utilization, as it increases fiber capacity by a factor of 16-96 and enables building effective optical networks.

• How many channels are available with DWDM?

  During its early stages, the number of channels available with DWDM was limited to four per fiber. That number has grown substantially since the introduction of DWDM systems in 1996; today, there are systems operating with 8, 16, 32, 40, 64, and even 80 channels per fiber.

• What is DWDM C-band spectrum?

  DWDM C-band spectrum supports up to 96 wavelengths, spaced at the standard ITU grid of 50GHz, 64 wavelengths, spaced at the standard ITU grid of 75GHz, and 48 wavelengths, spaced at the standard ITU grid of 100GHz. DWDM also supports flex-grid in which flexible bandwidth spectrum slices are allocated to the optical signals.
