Absolutely! I was pleased to see so many folks from south of the border too, 
and the interesting Ireland-related content. 

The 18-seater prop plane journey was a novelty too. It didn’t really feel like 
an overseas trip :)

Yes, this: it was great to have such an interesting  integrated meeting
of the two isles. The ION conference added another helping of great
people, too.

And Belfast was utterly awesome. Anyone that didn't fancy leaving
Britain to get over there really did miss out. I'd like us to go back as
soon as possible, please. :)

Thanks for being such a good host as well, Dave!

Good venue, good people, good content, good hosting, tasty shortbread biscuits 
and delicious scones (not had scones in a break since Bristol?).  Thanks to all 
involved.

Landing OK? Nice and gentle? Any bum-puckers at all? :)  Reason I ask
is I read this the other day:

http://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/special_bulletins/s5_2014___jetstream_31__g_gava.cfm


I used to love eating the sticky buns and pastries on the Newcastle to
Belfast Harbour flight, I often had the plane almost to myself (other
than the crew and a pile of mailbags up front)
Very annoyed I couldn't make it myself, one of my favourite cities.

[uknof] CWDM Advice needed

2014-09-10 Thread Joseph Waite
Looking for some advice here.

Deploying cwdm onto a dark fibre link  in next few weeks.

I have a pair if 11 channel mux/demux's which include wavelength 1310nm.

I'm talking to now two suppliers, one in china who supplied the mux's and one 
in Europe.

One supplier is saying I can use standard sfp optics as they use 1310 nm on my 
1310 port and these are cheap as chips! However the other supplier is saying 
that these won't work as they are not as finely tuned and say I need cwdm 1310 
optics which are considerably more expensive!

Can anyone here advice which is correct?

Regards

Standard optics should be fine...
