The MRV boxes are quite nice and incredibly simple, plus they have cheap convertors so you can use them with gear that doesnt have GBIC/SFP based optics. Just make sure you have a supplier who can deliver fibre patches with 'MU' type connectors - they're as rare as hens teeth and needed to plug into the MUX. -- Ben Buxton - Random Network Person
