I know that a service provider vendor, Calix, also has a GBIC to do this. It's not an uncommon thing to do anymore.

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.
