Are you looking for active or passive? We just replaced a failing Ciena Mux with an 18 channel passive mux for a data center client. Ours was CWDM, but they make a DWDM version. Total cost was under 5 grand, including spares. Ciena wanted 24k to update the service contract, update software, and troubleshoot an alarm state.
