Media converters are much cheaper than specialized FX cards like these. A 10Mbps converters are just $99 each and 100Mbps is $150.
Yes, but you need external power for these and they aren't monitorable/configurable from any interface. Thus if one goes down and you can't physically see it you have no idea where the problem is until someone gets onsite. bye, ken emery

Yep. There's plenty of fiber between the two buildings, so we may go that route. Anyone know if there's any easy way to limit bandwidth on the PA-POS-OC3 adapters?
PA-POS-OC3MM $6000/card $38.71/Mbit PA-FE-FX $3200/card $32.00/Mbit PA-2FE-FX $5000/card $25.00/Mbit
Why muck with SONET unless necessary?
Sounds like another job for rate limiting to me...
Yes.
