C-Data's CDTrans OTN wavelength division transmission products come in 1RU, 2RU, and 6RU variants. They support both CDWM and DWDM technologies, accommodating various network topologies, including point-to-point, linear, star, ring, chain, and mesh configurations.
Both DWDM and CWDM are wavelength division multiplexing technologies, but they differ in the spacing between wavelengths. DWDM uses tighter wavelength spacing, allowing for more channels and higher data capacity compared to CWDM. CWDM is suitable for shorter distances and networks with lower data requirements.
