Re: [AFMUG] GPON through MUX?

Adam, GPON is 1310/1490. There are definitely ways to overlay DWDM. We overlay 1550 RF video over our GPON and it's probably a way wider signal than DWDM would be. On Fri, Apr 2, 2021 at 4:33 PM Adam Moffett wrote: > > GPON is 1490 down and 1550 up > > I've been using CWDM which overlaps that. I

Here's the deal: Without the vaccine, if you come in contact with the virus in a high enough dose to catch it, you're almost certain to catch it. If you catch it and have high-risk medical conditions, you have an unreasonable chance of ending up dead. Even if you don't end up dead, there is a ve

The important part of that is that they are testing positive with minor symptoms, unless you have some hard reports of more severe cases? But minor symptoms can still make you contagious to someone who isn't immunized or if both aren't masked. On 04/05/2021 08:39 AM, Matt Hoppes wrote: Forre
