SFD-44 CHANNEL USAGE Each SFD44/44B filter has a 44-channel optical multiplexer and de-multiplexer.

An SFD44 gives local access to 44 channels from day 1. This gives the greatest flexibility and simplifies planning, but at a slightly higher first cost than a single 5channel filter. Each of the 44 channels can be locally add-dropped, transparently passed through, or regenerated if necessary. No expansion port is required as all 44 channels are available. The SFD44 provides access to 44 standard even channels at 100Ghz spacing, and the SFD44B provides access to 44 odd channels at a 50Ghz offset from the standard even channels
