Re: DWDM Optics cheaper than CWDM Optics?

Just so you know, FS.com now stocks many of the common optics in Seattle
Washington for next day delivery. So they now are stocking more and more
items in the USA.

When we order an item from China on Monday USA time, we get it it Thursday
morning USA time if its in stock in China!
