Low cost WDM gear

Sat Feb 7 18:34:47 UTC 2015

Hi kenneth... which the distance do you have from side A to side B when you using passive solutions from fiberstore( mux and demux)?
I buy this mux and demux(4 channels single fiber) and only make a test about 60km( mux side A and demux on side B) with sfp+10gb for 80km... ( only see  ddm on my ex3300( about -19db for 60km). Test switch access with ssh and pinging tests...
What kind os issue do you have? For distances less than 60km is this solution good?
Thanks!!!

The FiberStore gear was a huge disappointment (excessive loss, poor technical support, refusal to issue refund without threatening legal action, etc.).   I have had good results from the OSI equipment so far.  I run passive muxes for CWDM (8 - 16 channels).
