It sounds like your application is something along the lines of what is depicted in Figure 12. WDM Splitter Cable for Non-CWDM Applications? I haven't used that specific part to do a 1310/1550 10G network, but we have a similar part from Fiberdyne (a Dual Window Mux) to do a SONET (at 1310) overlay on a DWDM signal. We also have a 1000BaseLX overlay onto DWDM systems and have even done a video signal at 1310 using these parts. As long as you could run either optic over this cable without the combiner/splitter, you should be fine. It will introduce a bit of loss, so make sure you account for that. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkr8KYEACgkQQr/gMVyFYyRpVACeOPaqaiI5qcC+H1eJYoMNu0jC asAAn1XhR5ve8IaOxcGnoaCxodgvGZi5 =pJ78 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
