This technique enables bidirectional communications over a single strand of fiber (also called wavelength-division duplexing) as well as multiplication of capacity. 's Enhanced WDM system is a network architecture that combines two different types of multiplexing technologies to transmit data over optical fibers.

WDM systems are divided into three different wavelength patterns: normal (WDM), coarse (CWDM) and dense (DWDM). Coarse WDM provides up to 16 channels across multiple transmission windows of silica fibers.

However, recent standardization and a better understanding of the dynamics of WDM systems have made WDM less expensive to deploy. A WDM system uses a at the to join the several signals together and a at the to split them apart. Originally, the term coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) was fairly generic and described a number of different channel configurations.

Coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM), in contrast to DWDM, uses increased channel spacing to allow less sophisticated and thus cheaper transceiver designs.

High Cost: Fiber Channel Switches and the associated infrastructure can be expensive to acquire and maintain. This high cost can deter small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from investing in this technology, limiting the overall market growth. I've seen single/dual/quad port 4Gb cards on eBay for less than $50 each, 8 or 16 port 4Gb switches for less than $200. I'm not too familiar with the differences between Ethernet and FC but wouldn't a single 4Gb FC connection be faster than 4 x 1Gb Ethernet bond? Quad port 1Gb Ethernet NICs are. - The admin GUI requires Java Web Start with legacy NPAPI plugins (modern browsers are incompatible) - I run MS ThinPC with IE8 in.
