[AusNOG] Cisco SFP-GE-Z in Melbourne

[Thomas Weible - FLEXOPTIX]

Hi Tony,

We've got handfuls of the 1310nm optics, but none of the 1550 ones. We also have plenty of spare 10G 1550 optics, but not helpful in this case where it's only 1G service.

there is the possibility to operate the 10G 1550nm at 1G speed (dependens on the transceiver hardware). You only have to reconfigure them so that the 1G device will accept these transceivers. Is someone around Melbourne having a flexbox in hand? If yes, we can give it a try to reconfigure your transceivers.

Let me know.
