a brief summary of responses up to now:
- there are several vendors making some kind of sx-to-zx gbe converters (they call it gbe extenders), which gives an equivalent of a device with a zx gbic. these vendors include jdsu, luxn, extreme etc. - two companies were found making gbe optical regenerators - imcnetworks and transmode - other solution is to try with edfa mikael: which exact gbic did you use? i was comparing cisco-reselled gbics and their cwdm gbics seem to be more than 10dB better on power budget... anybody tried this in real life? thanks again -- Tomas Daniska systems engineer Tronet Computer Networks Plynarenska 5, 829 75 Bratislava, Slovakia tel: +421 2 58224111, fax: +421 2 58224199 A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mikael Abrahamsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 12. júna 2002 17:48 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: GigEth regenerators > > > > On Wed, 12 Jun 2002, Daniska Tomas wrote: > > > but for gigeth in this case - we need to connect two sites > about 200km > > apart over dark fiber > > Check out the 7020 from Transmode > <http://www.transmode.se/products/sing_dual.htm> > > Btw, my personal best so far is 150km over dark fiber using a > extra long > haul GBIC, 32dB loss over the fiber and it worked perfectly. > Only tested > it for 10 minutes, but there were no CRC errors during that time. > > +4dB output from the GGBIC, now we have to worry to not look into the > laser :) > > -- > Mikael Abrahamsson email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
