Re: Rx and Tx on a single SMF strand for MANs?

I would stay away from IMC, they may be cheap but you get what you pay for.

Removed per subscriber's request 06/23/09 is right, the Canoga transceivers are excellent. The only problem I've had is with the standalone models; the power supply had failed on a couple of them, but swap them out with another and your off and running again. Canoga was aware of this problem and supposedly fixed it.

Another alternative is Transitions networks www.transition.com. I haven't had much experience with them personally, but I hear good things about them. They are also not as bulky as the Canogas, giving you a higher port density, per RMU.

The Canoga Perkins 9119 (100MB) and 9120 (1000MB) series are tried and true. They have single fiber and dual fiber versions available. We have over 50 units currently deployed.

See http://www.canogaperkins.com/library/datasheets/index.asp#LAN. In terms of pricing, they are a bit more expensive than the others, but their reputation is excellent.

Would anyone like to contribute their favorite solution for doing both Rx and Tx over a single fiber, in MAN environments?

I've found that unit, but I'm hoping to find some alternatives... Is there anything that will do 1000Mb over a single fiber?
