I was wondering if anyone has tried this setup? We are using Gainmaker 1Ghz Node and are thinking of trying to utilize 1 Fiber for Forward and Return. It looks as though the receiver accepts anywhere from 1200nm - 1600nm and the transmitter is 1310. If we use a 1550nm Transmitter and 1310 receiver at the hub I would imagine that we could multiplex the 2 onto 1 fiber? Any Thoughts? Thanks!
If your node receiver accepts a range of light that it can convert to RF, then you'll need to use a WDM splitter at the node with 1510nm blocked into the receive fiber to block out the transmitter in the node from screaming into the receiver. Same at the head end if the receiver there accepts a range.
Yes, you can do that, but you have to use WDM 1310/1550 MUX to combine rev TX and fwd RX in the Gainmaker and same WDM MUX in the head end, splitting the fiber to rev RX and fwd TX.

Any brand you would suggest for WDM filters / couplers for 1310,1550?
Anything you want, remember to choose the right connectors
