We run the SR4 optics for in-rack cabling, because they are about 4X
cheaper than all the single-mode options.<br>
<br>
We have been heavy on the LR4 optics, but are now starting to test
(and if happy, switch to) the FR units, as they are even cheaper
than the LR4 option.<br>
<br>
The DR options don't make much sense for us, because we prefer the
SR4 for in-rack cabling, and given how large data centres are
nowadays, 500m might not enough to interconnect with customers.<br>
<br>
But for un-amplified Metro-E deployments, we are looking forward to
testing Adva's 100G-ZR, which is also a single lane optic.<br>
