DWDM vs CWDM
je. Introduction
UN. Definition of DWDM
B. Definition of CWDM
II. Comparison of DWDM and CWDM
UN. Transmission Range
1. DWDM: Able to transmit over longer distances (up to 80 kilomètres)
2. CWDM: Suitable for shorter distances (up to 40 kilomètres)
B. Channel Capacity
1. DWDM: Offers a higher channel capacity (up to 160 channels)
2. CWDM: Provides a lower channel capacity (up to 18 channels)
C. Wavelength Spacing
1. DWDM: Provides smaller wavelength spacing (0.8 nm or less)
2. CWDM: Offers larger wavelength spacing (20 nm or more)
D. Coût
1. DWDM: Generally more expensive due to the advanced technology required
2. CWDM: Cost-effective option for less demanding applications
E. Equipment Complexity
1. DWDM: Requires more complex equipment and advanced networking knowledge
2. CWDM: Simpler equipment with easier installation and maintenance
F. Upgradability
1. DWDM: Allows for scalability and future upgrades
2. CWDM: Limited upgradability due to its lower channel capacity
