Enablence Technologies announced a new family of ultra-low-cost, low-loss CWDM4 demultiplexer optical devices targeting datacom applications. Optical performance is based on Telcordia GR-1221-CORE and other industry standard reliability requirements and feature optical performance of up to 2 kilometer over a single mode fiber. Nominal wavelengths are 1271 nm, 1291 nm, 1311 nm, and 1331 nm.

CWDM optical devices are used mainly in metro and access networks performing two main roles. The first involves using each optical channel to transport a unique input signal at specific rate. Another involves using CWDM to break down a high-speed signal into slower components that then transmit the signal much more cost-effectively.

Increased demand for CWDM optical devices continues to be driven by the need for lower cost, lower capacity, and shorter distance applications where cost is a critical factor. Enablence's expansion of its CWDM product line is designed to quickly address this demand. It is consistent with the Company's ongoing investment strategy, which supports the expansion of its optical products portfolio, adding new high-demand, PLC technology-based CWDM, and DWDM products as well as LiDAR technology-based products for automotive and robotic markets.

This meets the requirements of Enablence's growing datacom, telecom, automotive and industrial automation customers in the United States, China, and the Rest of the World (RoW).
