Hi kenneth... which the distance do you have from side A to side B when you u=
sing passive solutions from fiberstore( mux and demux)?
I buy this mux and demux(4 channels single fiber) and only make a test about=
60km( mux side A and demux on side B) with sfp+10gb for 80km... ( only see =
ddm on my ex3300( about -19db for 60km). Test switch access with ssh and pi=
nging tests...
What kind os issue do you have? For distances less than 60km is this solutio=
n good?
Thanks!!!
