Hi List,
Cisco currently provides 8 lambdas for CWDM and we have a 10 lambda
mux/de-mux system we want to make use of over a single fibre (5 data
channels). The 1430 and 1450nm lambdas are dark and I was wondering if
there are any 3rd party vendors out there that have produced Cisco
compatible GBICs for these wavelengths. I have looked around and seen
Finisar does make Cisco GBICs, but not in the 1430/1450 lambdas.
Any help appreciated

You might want to try MRV Communications, www.mrv.com. I think they also
make units for Cisco.

Have a look at Optoway (http://www.optoway.com.tw/html/products/CWDM_GE.htm) I did not yet test their CWDM GBICs but I'm about to use their BiDI GBICs which come with great distance granularity and excellent price.

Look into Finisar.
I believe Finisar is the OEM for the Cisco CWDM GBIC's as they look identical (With the obvious exception of the label)
They have 16 Lambda's available
