What you could try is use the Cisco CWDM-MUX-4 and it's pluggable optics that can be fit into any GBIC 802.3z compliant slot. It's just an OADM with 4 or 8 wavelengths that delivers GigE to any box with pluggable GBICs provided you use the right optics and it's quite a bit cheaper than using ONS stuff. That said, CWDM doesn't get you much further than 80 kilometres, above that DWDM is your only option, and a hell of a lot more expensive.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All: I'm wondering if anyone has seen a good and cheap(er) solution for providing multiple Gigabit Ethernet circuits over single pair of fiber. I'm looking for a way to do CWDM or DWDM that's cheaper than putting in a Cisco 15454 or 15327. I'm only going to be doing 2 GigE circuits between two switches, so I don't need to plan for future growth. If anyone knows of a magic box that will do the above I would love to hear about it.
