Somewhat bizarre scenario... (Fiber distance)

Fri Dec 14 20:25:32 UTC 2007

Given this 40G/100G topic, I figured I'd bring this up given the topics.

I've got a link that is testing out at 29.5db loss @ 1550. Its 107km.

I seem to remember a few good solutions for 1Gb/s or 2.5Gb/s that can 
handle a link like this, but its been a while and I can't seem to 
remember. I can put a regen in there if I have to, but that or an EDFA 
both seem like ugly solutions since I just need 1 wave.

Shoot me a few suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Deepak
