The DWDM Multirate SFP Transceivers from MRV provide flexible DWDM solutions in a compact package about six times smaller than the standard hot-plug MSA transceiver. Nearly any equipment with SFP ports can easily use CWDM wavelengths or the narrower DWDM channels with 100 Ghz spacing.

The traditional CWDM advantages include cost, simplicity, power consumption, and equipment density. The MRV DWDM multirate SFPs maximize scalability in both channel count and distance. C-band DWDM systems currently use 44 channels that can easily reach across metro networks with inexpensive erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA). These DWDM SFPs combine the best of all these features.
