[AusNOG] Gig BX optics

[Patrick Cole]

Andrew,

It's a great way to go to conserve fibre.
Some people also use circulators with LX for use on a single fibre.
In my experience this is generally only when their hardware has trouble 
supporting BX transcceivers or they are supplied by as standard by
a dark fibre provider.
