I guess I mis-read Chiyoung's shorthand, i.e., "giga fiber", which I took to mean beaucoup fibers. Please excuse the noise. Frank A. Coluccio DTI Consulting Inc. 212-587-8150 Office 347-526-6788 Mobile On Fri Nov 30 11:43 , Sean Donelan sent:

For large jobs, in any case. A demo of the Glimmerglass device can be viewed on the company's "Government Signals Monitoring and Analysis" page: http://www.glimmerglass.com/defense.aspxThis is probably bit more than would be needed for the apparent application of monitoring a particular routing point for a LAN. A simple passive fiber tap may be sufficient. An optical switch may be more suitable when you have large numbers of sources and need to dynamically monitor a subset of different fibers on a regular basis. Installing a switch is less useful if you need to check a particular fiber on a permanent basis. Of course, if you already have an "optical DACS" in your network, then it makes sense to use it instead of installing something else.
