I'm looking at a project where four big switches are needed. If I can buy them from my friend in NZ, they're like $6k. They're about $12k here because I'm not some super platinum certified whatever like he is over there. 48x 10GigE and 4x 40GigE. Not exactly non-blocking on the uplink, but probably enough. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ________________________________ From: "Gino Villarini via Af" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "<[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 2:46:29 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Gpon or 10g-pon sfp...when?

The non hardened planet still specs up to 122 degrees as well, and I believe the Occam blade that I have deployed is even higher.

All the other sfp switches I have found are pretty much for inside an air conditioned enclosure. -Louis On Oct 19, 2014 2:18 PM, "Jason McKemie via Af" <[email protected]> wrote: Planet has a switch with 24 SFP ports, or if you don't mind spending more per port there are a few companies out there that do 48 lasers in 1u using dual bidi SFPs (Calix being one option). Still not the density of GPON, but better than your example. On Sunday, October 19, 2014, Louis Arsenault via Af <[email protected]> wrote: Our reason for looking into it is heat and power. We may have 300+ customer coming into a single cabinet. We will be laying the fiber for active but if we can save on space by not needing 300+ sfp ports plus battery backup for all those switches. We are looking at the Planet switch which has 16 SFP ports. If we use GPON that is 16 SFP ports * 32 customers per port = 512 customers instead of only 16 customers per switch! To do active we would need 19 switches! -Louis On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 1:20 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) via Af <[email protected]> wrote: > To slightly hijack this.
