I used to make DWDMs for Corning. I do not know of any limitation of
a DWDM carrying gige as long as the frequency matches the port you
are going into.

Can someone correct me if I am wrong? I always thought of
DWDMs as a very cleverly designed passive device that will simply
pass the light if it "fits" through the glass filters.
