hi folks,
is anybody aware of an optical long-haul gigabit ethernet regenerator
box? anything like
Cisco Optical Regenerator (COR) OC-48 STM-16 Bi-directional Regenerator
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/oc48__l2.htm
but for gigeth in this case - we need to connect two sites about 200km
apart over dark fiber
thanks

I don't know if you can use more than one of these on a path, but

...might be something like what you want for this. Seems very similar to...
http://www.jdsu.com/site/images/products/pdf/Model1280GbX_092101.pdf
...which Pac*Bell SBC is using for its new "GigaMan" product.
Check out the 7020 from Transmode

Btw, my personal best so far is 150km over dark fiber using a extra long
haul GBIC, 32dB loss over the fiber and it worked perfectly. Only tested
it for 10 minutes, but there were no CRC errors during that time.
+4dB output from the GGBIC, now we have to worry to not look into the
laser
