Dear Mr. Carpenter,
Juniper is expensive. If you buy a new 48 x 10GbE/SFP+ fiberswitch from an H=
3C based vendor like Huawei, you get the whole unit for $10,000. All you nee=
d in addition to that are the lasers and these will set you back a hundred b=
ucks per port in case you select 1310nm SFP+ modules (SMF 80km duplex), rend=
ering a total price of less than $300 per interface,
Best regards,
Jonas Bjork
