First, has anyone had experience with ITU Grid Optic GBICs? Do they even exist?
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.
