Frequent Ask Questions
  • What is the Cisco CWDM-MUX8A?

    The Cisco CWDM-MUX8A is a Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) module that allows for the multiplexing of different data streams into a single optical fiber, optimizing the use of fiber infrastructure.

  • What is the CWDM technology?

    Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) is a technology used in optical networks where different data channels (wavelengths) are multiplexed onto a single fiber strand, significantly increasing the capacity of the fiber.

  • What wavelengths does the CWDM-MUX8A support?

    This module supports eight CWDM wavelengths ranging from 1470 nm to 1610 nm, with each wavelength spaced at 20 nm intervals.

  • Which interfaces are compatible with the CWDM-MUX8A?

    The CWDM-MUX8A is compatible with both Gigabit Ethernet (1G) and Fibre Channel (1G/2G) interfaces.

  • Can the CWDM-MUX8A be used in different network environments?

    Yes, it is designed to be used in a variety of network environments including metropolitan area networks (MANs), access networks, and enterprise networks.

  • What is the maximum distance supported by the CWDM-MUX8A?

    Depending on the SFP modules and fiber specifications used, CWDM technology can support distances up to 70 kilometers.

  • What type of optical fiber is required for CWDM-MUX8A?
