They arent "optics" as such, more trans/muxponders. |

I've seen some of the equipment (carrier hotels), never been able to lay hands on it though (not my specialty/repsonsibility). Are the mux's still on the large side, or have they managed to shrink it a bit? |

kudos:4 | The ones Ive wroked with are the PSS-32 chassis, which is 19" wide an 13 or so RU (can just fit 3 of them in a rack). Ive worked more with muxponders than their transponders, and you can fit 5 of them in that chassis, so 50 x 10g = 500g line side per chassis x 3 = 1.5t per rack. Since the chassis is only about 300mm deep you can probably fit them front and back too.
Not sure if theres anything else more dense than that.  |

kudos:9 | The one's I saw were 1/2 rack, so they've either shrunk somewhat, or have a lower capacity. Still, the amount of speed you have at the carrier level is amazing, I wonder what the link utilization is. |
