James, Fiber Optic Cable - Unsung Hero" "Corning believes that the drive to enhance the portion of the installed base that consists of standard unshifted single-mode fibre -- optimised for operations at 1310 nm -- has led to the large scale replacement of regenerators with EDFAs, which operate at 1550 nm. OC-48 WDM technology is well suited to this type of fibre and gives the carrier the flexibility to incrementally add wavelengths when needed. Regardless of cable design, it is the optical fibre that determines whether a DWDM system is possible. Today, the non-zero dispersion-shifted fibres are best suited for DWDM systems requiring high data rates over long distances. However, if the data rate required is somewhat lower, and distances are shorter, the standard single-mode fibre is still an acceptable fibre for supporting DWDM." There you have it. Right from the horses mouth. Chromatis' claim to fame is just marketing BS. Let Nortel and Lucent have it. I am still waiting for Kenneth Phillips to respond to my post regarding this issue also, and explain to us how Chromatis' equipment enhances SONET equipment. I am not playing dumb. I want to know. So Kenneth, Put up or shut up. Jack Hutchison
