Most of the current optical DWDM systems that operators use
today [i.e. >2 years old] can't do it and its not just a 
connector issue.

A lot of new optical systems claim they can do it and
as operators role out next gen DWDM you will see this 
product get more widespread deployment, I suspect that
will happen in the next 12 months or so.

Neil.
