I've been really happy with the Fiberstore muxes/demuxes, although I'm using CWDM not DWDM.
They do the job, are entirely passive (no power needed), perform well (real world losses seem to match the test reports to a tee), seem solid enough, and this sort of stuff doesn't get any cheaper (that I've found). If you are looking for a 'platform', with _any_ sort of bells or whistles, they aren't what you are looking for. but, if you just want a cheap way to squeeze multiple channels onto a strand or two, they rock. --Eric On Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 1:36 PM, Romeo Czumbil <[email protected]> wrote: > Check out Ekinops > They have been rock solid with me.
