CWDM filter bandpass is wide to allow for drifting optics. Anything within about 7nm of 1530/1550 should work fine. I've got some optics near 34 and 59 on order to do exactly that in a bidir single fiber arrangement. I'll report back my results. On 9/7/08, Bradley Urberg-Carlson, VISI <buc@visi.com> wrote:

The only affordable CWDM 10G system I have seen although I haven't used it yet is a single 10G band at 1310 or 1550 with 8 additional 2.5G bands around it. I've wondered if one could shoot with DWDM 10G optics into two channels of a CWDM mux. For example, by connecting DWDM channel 359 (center 1530.33 nm) and 334 (center 1550.12 nm) to the 1530/1550 filters of a CWDM mux with 20nm spacing (+/- 6.5nm pass band). Might that support 1x10gig + 3x1gig on a single strand, or 2x10G + 6x1G on a pair? (and no, I haven't tried it). Bradley
