At the huge markup Cisco does regarding their optics, they have the margin to do this without hiking the price. They're already pricing in a complete SDH system in their optics markup. I noticed that the CRS-1 is now in the Cisco pricelist. 4 port OC192 VSR $330k 4 port OC192 SR $630k 4 port OC192 IR $1030k I happen to know a 10GE SR Xenpak can be had at $1600 and LR (80km) at $5900 from manufacturer. The same laser can do OC192. Is there anyone who can justify this pricing with anything else than "because we can?" -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
