According to what the site says and from what I have heard they are talking about a $450,000-$500,000 base price for the single shelf unit and the OC768 Cards will probably be quite expensive until one of the other companies (Juniper or Avici) comes out with something competitive.

Eric Kuhnke Here it is, complete with OC-768 interface: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5763/index.html
It's a BFR allright. I wonder how much OC-768 linecards will go for; if it's consistent with 2OC192/POS-IR-SC some will be over a million list a pop. And you thought 12816 gear was pricey? Michel.
Interestingly the OC-768 card has a max transmit power of 5dB and is short-range optics only. As far as I know there are no 2R or 3R regeneration solutions for long haul 40Gb/s circuits, nor are there any DWDM systems that can do 8, 16 or 32 40Gb/s wavelengths. Burton, Chris wrote:

It will be interesting to see if any future 40Gb/s systems will be able to keep the 15-20dB dampening budget (60-80km fiber) that most current placement of amplifier stations has been designed after (due to 10G systems having that capability). Dispersion and all the other problems will be quite interesting to see how they are solved. My guess is that multiple 10G will be the more economical path still for years to come. The big question is also how this is going to affect price as all the over capacity built in 99-01 now is being used up and what kind of prices we'll see in the market when all the second hand gear is deployed and the only future path is to buy new. One consolidation is that wide deployment of 10GE will hopefully bring down the price of optics radically as volume go up. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
