I'd suggest looking at FluxLight (www.fluxlightinc.com) for this. Their sales and support process is nothing short of stellar, and pricing is a fair medium between "paying too much for vendor optics" and "fly-by-night eBay imports". To wit, all of their products Just Worked without ever needing Cisco's infamous 'service unsupported-transceiver' vendor lock override. -a
