Well if that works then a single transceiver ought to work too I should think.
I can just wait for the right part, so it may be a moot point when all is said and done, but I was curious about it.

What I have heard of is connecting a dwdm mux to one of the channels of a cwdm mux and running multiple channels of dwdm over a single cwdm channel, but I haven't tried that myself.

You’d still be limited to the number of ports on the MUX. The situation is the CWDM MUX is already there, and our vendor momentarily has a shorter lead time on DWDM. The upper CWDM channels happen to overlap with DWDM. If I took a DWDM transceiver at 1570.01nm and plugged it into the CWDM MUX on the 1570nm port there’s no reason that shouldn’t work right? -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2023 9:27 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] WDM transceivers My guess would be no...otherwise no one would buy DWDM multiplexers...

I’d only be using a small slice of the channel, but if the DWDM wavelength is encompassed by the larger CWDM wavelength then that light should still reach the intended destination, right? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
