DWDM SFP's

I have a (Hopefully short term) requirement to push a pair of HA'ed F5's about 13km apart as the fibre goes... I've done it before in the 3-4km range using LX SFP's in the fibre ports over dark fibre ...

Thanks.

 

 

I found some cisco SFP transponders (media converters)... A Gb SFP in one side (Copper or fibre), and a DWDM optical in the other, then straight into the DWDM multiplexer and away you go.
