Dear nanog group We are currently evaluating the use of generic third party optics (SFP+ and XFP) for 40Kms and 80Kms applications from vendors like NHR and Champion One and I was wondering if someone in the group has experience using optics from these vendors. My concern is about quality/reliability. They are suppose to provide lifetime warranty, however as far as I know the life time for DWDM optics is between 3 to 5 years. Could someone share their experience with using generic optics for DWDM applications? Thank you
