160 signals
throughput 1.5 Terabits per second
Multiplexing
Sent through a multiplexer
on receive side Demultiplexing into their separate streams
WDM
Bidirectional wavelength division multiplexing
Uses different wavelengths over a single strand of fiber
Sending different colors of a signal over the same strand of fiber
