J. Great find on the CWDM modules. Just like I have been speculating about on these threads, about WDM modules being the next wave in the Data Center. It looks like what I have been speculating on is becoming reality. It makes economic sense as the cost of the CWDM devices come down, that more and more channels will be compressed over the fibers in a Data Center. I could picture someday, having mega director racks, with humungous port counts, shrunk way down, and hundreds of fibers feeding in with hundreds of channels per fiber. These CWDM modules and FC switch modules (also Infiniband & GE Modules) crammed onto blades controlled by Director Modules, with suped up intelligence controlling compute clusters, workstation blades, server blades, and networks of switches, with optical fabric being spun in hyperdrive. This Blaze might be a good company to invest in------- "For Premises Network OEMs, Blaze develops and manufactures next-generation, WDM subsystems. Unlike transceiver suppliers, Blaze delivers mass-customized, turnkey interconnect products that are embedded inside the OEM's system. Blaze's current technology is scalable from 4 to 32 channels, with each channel carrying up to 10Gbps. Blaze has board-level transceivers capable of 4 to 8 optical channels each carrying 100Mbps to 3.125Gbps: Afterburner is a GBIC that expends Gigabit Ethernet to 2Km over MMF; Flamethrower is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet product for 300m over MMF. The company will soon deliver optical backplane interconnects and multi-chip module" We are on the right track! Joe
