Turns out the fiber length is about 60km, but it is testing at 13dB for 1550 nm. This winds up fitting in the 24dB optical budget for the XENPAK-10GB-ZR (80 km). I have removed dB for connectors and potential splices as well. Next challenge: On the other end of the connection is a

Wow. Thanks Steinar, I've been looking all over their website for this! Looks like about the same power budget as the Cisco XENPAK-10GB-ZR. Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/18/2008 04:46 PM To Joe Loiacono/CIV/[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject Re: [c-nsp] Good 10GE Metro

We have a requirement for about 2+ GE between two metro locations. I'm looking at the 3750-E with 2 X2 10GE uplink ports. I would use the 10GBASE-ER X2 Transceiver Module for the distance. Actually the distance is about at the 40 Km limit - but that's another question. Want to do BGP with a
