So, I am looking at doing DWDM for some mid-haul passive-splitter links around NYC metro - working with a carrier that's buying dark and offering to hand me lambdas off passive splitters.
I'm going to need to punch enough power to go 20-40km + losses in the passive splitters. Do I need to look at SXI + SIP-400 + SPA to go XFP? Am I better off with a 6704 to get XENPAK even tho it's not the best board in the known universe? Or do I go with X2 tuned optics? Effectively, what's the cheapest practical option, assuming I need no more than 4 ports per 6500 and don't have > 1 slot available? (I have physical space constraints, I mostly work with 03E and 04E chassis) Thanks, -bacon _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
