I've heard of people who use a pair of SX gbics (1310nm), and a pair of LX gbics (1550nm), and a cheap WDM splitter to get two GigE's down one pair of fiber.

Cool, so long as your splitter actually handles 1000BASE-SX (850nm)... launched into multimode...? Hmm. Does that fly? 1000BASE-LX is 1310nm, and some proprietary LR stuff goes into the 1500s. Those GBICs ain't so cheap as SX, but hey. Or maybe you're thinking of 10GBASE-Ex? (Ow! My wallet!) Peter E. Fry
