Re: Gigabit Media Converter
Omnitron also makes these, but they're probably closer to the $1000 range. http://www.omnitron-systems.com/converters/converters.htm - Original Message - From: Stephen J Wilcox [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Vincent J Bono [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 6:31 AM Subject: Re: Gigabit Media Converter Sounds like you need a singlemode-multimode convertor, available from various places, cost around $600 Steve On Mon, 11 Aug 2003, Vincent J.

Re: Gigabit Media Converter
Thanks but this wont work. We have a Specific frequency (CWDM) on one side. -vb - Original Message - From: Curtis Clan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 1:12 PM Subject: Re: Gigabit Media Converter I believe this is what you are looking http://www.transition.com/products/mcon_platform/standalone/gigabit/fsmmm04. htm Vincent J.

Re: Gigabit Media Converter
Ahh sorry I didnt realise the intention was to run the CWDM itself thro it, I thought this was for the output Ok well I'm not an optics expert but I wasnt aware multimode was capable of carrying more than a single wavelength because of interference/dispersion effects etc Steve On Tue, 12 Aug 2003, Mikael Abrahamsson wrote: On Tue, 12 Aug 2003, Stephen J.

Transmode (www.transmode.se) does converters to order, they'll fix things that'll do pretty much any to any (850 / 1310 / (1490-1610) in any combination) including 3R and management (which implies that you need ethernet onsite which might be tricky). I'd believe they're more in the $3k-$5k range with CWDM optics though. If you need OC48 that'll hike the price up even more.

Re: Gigabit Media Converter
Thanks for all the links and help! The issue is cost and space, and all the products that will work seem to cost upwards of $3,000 and do a lot more than we need or take up a few rack units of space. I am probably going to build a small circuit to handle connecting two GBICs back to back. The pinout from molex was readily available and we can get CWDM GBICs these days for $400 or less and more normal frequencies for sub $150. Anyway, anyone who is interested in the final product send me email off-list and I'll keep you posted. -vb - Original Message - From: Mikael Abrahamsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 7:21 AM Subject: Re: Gigabit Media Converter On Tue, 12 Aug 2003, Stephen J.

Re: Gigabit Media Converter
Where can you get CWDM GBIC's for under 400. Most vendors charge 5-10x that price. Scott C. McGrath On Tue, 12 Aug 2003, Vincent J. Bono wrote: Thanks for all the links and help!
