Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (1) for management of a spectral capacity of a wavelength division multiplexing, WDM, system comprising at least one pair of transmission fibers provided for transporting optical signals, wherein each transmission fiber of a transmission fiber pair (3) is connected to a first port of an optical circulator (2) having at least two additional ports and adapted to transmit an incoming optical signal entering one of its ports via its next port, wherein WDM subsystems (A, B) configured with counter-propagating assignable wavelengths are connected to associated ports of the optical circulator (2) of said apparatus (1).
