Cisco sell "CWDM" GBICs, which are sort of on ITU wavelengths, but with a wider spacing. I've not tried them to see if I can use them with the 15216 but "sparsely". > Second, does anyone know of a 'back-box' that will take standard 1310 or > 1550 nm signal, and 'convert' it to an ITU grid? I'm currently using the 15454 to wavelength convert OC48 signals, but have not to date seen a black-box wavelength convertor - I would also be interested to know if such a beast exists. I think if you want to do this, you're stuck with the Metro 1500 (or equivalent from someone else), which becomes very expensive quickly.
