I need a good, cheap (its temporary) solution to run 2000mb/s over a single pair of multimode fiber (SX handoffs). I'd ideally like to put in two GEs, and get two out. I could use 10G gear, or OC48 gear, but I was hoping for something less pricey since this only has two run about 200ft between two buildings.
Any suggestions? I will be glad to summarize for anyone who wants it.
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.
This would be my suggestion too but you dont need any WDM kit as you already are using different wavelengths, its possible to buy whats essentially a 3 way fibre connector and just connect both cards in and your fibre out. I believe these splitters are about $150. Steve
