Sure, this is a fixed optics standard called 1x9 (1 row of 9 pins). If you're handy with a soldering iron and you can find someone to buy some 1x9 transceivers you can swap it out easily, I used to do this with old Foundry "guaranteed failure" fixed optics before I realized it wasn't worth my time. :) You can surely replace the old LH optics with something modern that has a 30dB budget instead of the old 23dB (70km) stuff too. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
