Hello, we use a few noname China DWDM Xenpaks as well as SFP+ optics with Xenpak adapter since about 2 years now in 6704 cards. No outages or issues yet.
But no idea if there is a difference to the Smartoptics or if DWDM/CWDM support differs. You should think about using SFP+ + adapter, I think there is a better chance to re-use them after 6500. kind regards Rolf > Hello Everyone, > > We are looking into upgrading some links actually on a cwdm run to 10Gig. > After looking into DWDM equipment I was told to check into 10Gig CWDM > plugs offered in sfp+ xenpak x2 xfp etc > Such as the ones offered by smartoptics > http://www.smartoptics.com/optical-transceivers/10g-ethernet-2/ > > As we would like to add this to our existing 6500s does anyone have any > experience using the x2/xenpaks in a cisco 6500 environment? > AFAIK cisco does not support 10G CWDM plug ins, at least I can't find > anything stating that they do publically. > > They are telling me it'll work but is "unsupported" , yet I would sleep > better at night knowing that we are not beta testers > > > > Thanks > > Brian > > > --- > This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above. > As this e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information, > if you are not the named addressee, you are not authorized to retain, > read, > copy or disseminate this message or any part of it. > > Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this > e-mail. > > _______________________________________________ > 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/
