Wavelength Division Multiplexing – or WDM – is the most efficient way of combining multiple streams of optical data traffic or channels onto one strand of singlemode fiber. There are 2 approaches for combining optical channels. Course WDM – or CWDM – solutions are utilized to combine up to 8 channels. Dense WDM – or DWDM – solutions are utilized to combine up to 44 channels.

Finisar pioneered the use of transceivers in WDM networks. Our product solution set is tailored for either CWDM or DWDM networks; and includes GBICs and SFPs that can transmit traffic up to 180 km, and are able to accommodate speeds up to OC-48.
