DWDM optical equipment — MUX DEMUX
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is the ability to combine a set of optical wavelengths for transmission over a single fibre. DWDM technology is an extension of optical networks and the main advantage of DWDM is that it is protocol and transmission rate independent, allowing DWDM-based networks to transmit data over IP, ATM, SONET, SDH and Ethernet. DWDM systems typically have the following optical components: DWDM optical modules, DWDM MUX/DEMUX , DWDM OADM and optical amplifiers. Today we talked about DWDM MUX/DEMUX A DWDM multiplexer (Mux) combines the output optical signals from multiple transmitters for transmission over a single fibre. At the receiving end, another DWDM demultiplexer (Demux) separates the combined optical signals. only one fibre is used between DWDM multiplexers (in each transmission direction). instead of using a single fibre in each pair of optical modules, DWDM allows multiple optical channels to occupy a single optical cable.
