MRV Lambda Driver CWDM claims 200km with Raman amplification cards. Atrica, now owned by Nokia, Ethernet switches claim 120 km -----Original Message----- From: Fletcher Kittredge [mailto:fkittred@staff.gwi.net] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 11:50 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: transcievers/amplifiers for 150 km fiber run We are looking to light a two strand fiber link of about 95 miles (or 150km). It would be worth a lot to us not to have repeaters. We are hoping for Gigabit Ethernet. Sonet is possible but a less attractive solution. Are there options for this sort of distance? The longest current link we have is about 65 miles. I understand the transmission characteristics of the fiber will effect distance of transmission. regards, Fletcher -- Fletcher Kittredge GWI 8 Pomerleau Street Biddeford, ME 04005-9457 207-602-1134
