The document describes a 40-channel DWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer module that aggregates 40 DWDM channels onto a single fiber using athermal arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) technology. It is packaged in a 1U rack-mounted chassis for simple installation and modularity. The module offers low loss and high density to add DWDM capability to networks with monitor ports for troubleshooting and specifications that comply with ITU grid standards.
