What is the difference between multi-fiber output and single-fiber switchable output?

Multi-fiber output configurations (e.g., MC-FL-CW-4-4) provide each wavelength on a dedicated fiber channel. Single-fiber switchable configurations (e.g., MC-FL-CW-4-1) switch between wavelengths on a single fiber output with <100 ms switching time.

What wavelengths are available for CWDM configurations?

CWDM configurations support wavelengths from 1270 nm to 1610 nm in 20 nm steps (1270, 1290, 1310...1570, 1590, 1610 nm).

What ITU channels are available for DWDM configurations?

DWDM configurations support ITU standard channels C16 through C60 with ±0.5 nm wavelength accuracy.
