You generally will save some light if you skip the intermediate patch cords and splice it through.

A bit of both. :-) I think it's just short of 100 Km in total, but with several patch cords/ODFs along the way. Some of these can be removed but removing all would probably make too expensive compared to what we win by running 10G. > One possibility might be to use a transponder with G.709 capability, and > appropriate optics. ... > You didn't say what specific complexity puts you off amps, but if it's > just "more kit" then this solution isn't really any better, and I doubt > much cheaper, than a pair of 9dB amps. Hadn't thought of the G.709 angle. But since it still requires external equipment (for a 6500) the amplification path is probably easier. -- Peter _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
