Cisco has an SFP & GBIC line that supports single fiber. I've been looking into this myself to conserve the number of fibers I have left on campus.
Check out the 1000BASE-BX-U and 1000BASE-BX-D SFP at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/ps6577/product _data_sheet0900aecd8033f885.html I haven't used these yet.

We've used a similar product from Cisco (actually, it may very well be the exact same product): WDM-1300-1550-S and CWDM-SFP-1550. We have not had a problem with it since we installed it this summer. You may not need an attenuator. The minimum cable length for things like this are surprisingly accommodating.

Hi, I need to connect a building to our campus that is about 5-6 miles away. We will be leasing a single mode fiber connection to the location, and connecting a Cisco 3750 stack back to our Core 6509. Using a single fiber instead of a dual fiber connection will save us $12,000/yr. In looking of ways to do this (connecting GBIC in the core to the SFP in the 3750), I came accross the following: http://www.championone.net/pdfs2/SingleFiber40km.pdf They have a single mode/single fiber GBIC that can connect to their single mode/single fiber SFP. I called the company, and they said the applicaiton should work, we would just need to add an antenuator to the fiber connection since it is rated for 40 km. Has anyone used this company, or have other ways of making this connection.
