Sweet stuff. I do have Mikrotiks with Dual GigE Fiber Ports if someone is interested.

Passive ADMs don't require any power and could be used at each customer location to drop a single channel of light that you plug into the GBIC. This way if a single customer's equipment goes down the rest of the ring stays up. With CWDM you only have 8 channels of light giving you a max of 8 gigs shared across your ring, but that is probably fine considering you only have 2 gigs with your current setup. -Matt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
