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 <[EMAIL PR

Zed, If you are looking for optical systems my fav pub is Lightwave at http://lw.pennnet.com/. They list DWDM and CWDM systems, lasers, optics, ROADM etc. If you have nanog archives go back at least six months to the thread on DWDM vs CWDM et al that I was one of the contributors to. The last
