DWDM Applications

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM)
High-Capacity Optical Networking for Today—and Tomorrow

Our DWDM passive solutions are purpose-built for networks needing massive bandwidth upgrades over long distances. With support for up to 96 wavelengths, Pivotal Optics DWDM gear transforms a single pair of fibers into 40+ virtual fiber links—without active transport systems.

DWDM Benefits

  • Supports high-density traffic across metro, regional, and long-haul links
  • Use passive filters to optimize existing network gear
  • Enables 40+ wavelengths with amplifiers and dispersion compensation
  • Cut CapEx and OpEx vs. active DWDM systems

CWDM Applications

Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM)
Cost-Effective Capacity for Short to Mid-Range Fiber Links

Our CWDM passive filters are ideal for expanding fiber capacity in access, metro, and campus environments. With up to 9 wavelengths on a single fiber pair, CWDM provides an easy entry point for boosting capacity while keeping deployment fast and affordable.

CWDM Benefits

  • Perfect for shorter-distance, lower-cost deployments
  • Supports 1G and 10G traffic
  • Adds capacity without laying new fiber
  • Modular, scalable, and easy to manage
