There are eighteen CWDM wavelengths (λs) specified. Eight standard wavelengths plus four O-band λs are useable over most standard single-mode fiber.
Canary offers products for the standard eight wavelengths plus four O-band λs: 1470, 1490, 1510, 1530, 1550, 1570, 1590, 1610 ηm + 1290, 1310, 1330, 1350 ηm

Canary’s Gigabit GFC-55W-XX series of Coarse Wavelength Division
Multiplexing (CWDM) converters provide an economical way to
access to high capacity CWDM based networks by converting
standard multi-mode data output into CDWM wavelengths for
launch and transport through CWDM Multiplexers.
Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing reduces network
congestion with a minimum infrastructure investment. Using discrete
wavelengths (one per channel), multiple data channels can be
transported in parallel over a single-mode fiber cable.
GFC-55W-XX CWDM converters are designed to meet industry
needs for an economical way to access CWDM point-to-point
campus and metro-ring networks. They are used with Main
Distribution Frame (central office) Multiplexer / De-multiplexers and
with remote site, Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (OADMs), to insert
and/or drop optical traffic from single-mode fiber segments. Specific
models provide transmission on one of eighteen discrete λs, each
an ITU specified, CWDM wavelength. Versions are available for
an ITU specified, CWDM wavelength. Versions are available for
either 40+ kilometer or 60+ Kilometer transmission distances. GFC-
55W-XX multi-mode client ports provide minimum transmission
distances of 220+ meters over 62.5/125 µm fiber or 500+ meters
over 50.0/125 µm fiber.
over 50.0/125 µm fiber.
CWDM converters are functionally identical to standard units with
the exception that units at opposite ends of a fiber link must be
models with identical wavelengths in order to maintain a common
channel link e.g. if one device is operating at 1470 ηm, the second
must transmit and receive on the same wavelength. Similarly, a
must transmit and receive on the same wavelength. Similarly, a
standalone 1470 ηm unit can be connected to a CCM-1600 or
CCN-2000 / CCN-0400 chassis module with the same wavelength.
