Interestingly the OC-768 card has a max transmit power of 5dB and is short-range optics only. As far as I know there are no 2R or 3R regeneration solutions for long haul 40Gb/s circuits, nor are there any DWDM systems that can do 8, 16 or 32 40Gb/s wavelengths.

According to what the site says and from what I have heard they are
talking about a $450,000-$500,000 base price for the single shelf unit
and the OC768 Cards will probably be quite expensive until one of the
other companies (Juniper or Avici) comes out with something competitive.

Here it is, complete with OC-768 interface: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/index.html
It's a BFR allright. I wonder how much OC-768 linecards will go for; if
it's consistent with 2OC192/POS-IR-SC some will be over a million list a
pop. And you thought 12816 gear was pricey?
