You probably misunderstood the 10km by asking for 1310nm, ask for 1550nm and you will be able to get your 40km that you want On Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 12:57 PM Adam Moffett wrote: > I've only ever read about Erbium amplifiers. I'll probably never see > one in real life. > > > On 4/26/2021 3:46 PM

I've only ever read about Erbium amplifiers.  I'll probably never see one in real life. On 4/26/2021 3:46 PM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: They are most likely full of crap.  Offer to buy them a switch that has SFP ports on it. Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) are available but nobody uses

We had a longish 1G wave drop once, and I had to ask the carrier (centurylink) about what optics they wanted me to use. 25 miles distance. We did 1310nm LR 40km 1G optic on our side. > On Apr 26, 2021, at 1:46 PM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: > > They are most likely full of crap. Offer to buy

They are most likely full of crap. Offer to buy them a switch that has SFP ports on it. Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) are available but nobody uses them for that short of a distance. -Original Message- From: Mark - Myakka Technologies Sent: Monday, April 26, 2021 12:56 PM To:
