RE: CWDM or DWDM passive add/drop muxes

I have been pretty happy with the MRV box. It is passive and it not
manageable like an ONS etc. It has been rock solid for some time.

Specifically, we are using the CWDM EM316PAMULC. The only bad thing I would
say is there is often a several week delay on delivery of ordered parts. But
when they do arrive they work well.

Subject: CWDM or DWDM passive add/drop muxes


Does anyone have any experience with GBIC-based CWDM and/or DWDM optical 
add/drop muxes (OADM)?  I'm presently looking at the Cisco product lines 
which combines GBICs with passive multiplexors and am curious as to 
alternative manufacturers and the experiences other might have in these 
types of products in a metro application.

TIA,
Greg
