WDM Flashcards
1
Q
Wavelength division multiplexing
A
Allows bidirectional communication on one strand of fiber
- uses diff wavelengths for each signal to not get signals mixed up
2
Q
CWDM
A
Coarse wavelength-division multiplexing- uses 4 3.125gbps carriers each with its own wavelength
Standard-10GBase-Lx4
3
Q
DWDM
A
Dense wavelength division multiplexing-1.6tbps, 160 signals
