My brand new (and expensive) 1G DWDM optic doesn't work so I will likely have to go back to slough >:C

@benjojo shall I look at our pool of old(er) stuff again?

@nicoduck maybe, it may be too late to get something shipped over from DE post Brexit though :/

I have alternatives, but it just puts things closer to the wire than I like etc

Me (Over Email): This is actually a 1G optic right, not a 10G optic with a modded EEPROM riiiight

Vendor: yeah it's a real 1G optic don't worry

[narrators voice]

It was a modded 10G optic

@benjojo are the 10G ones cheaper or smth?

@boxyrobot I think they just exist while the 1G ones are not made anymore , hell this """ 1G """ optic has a date code of Nov 018 inside of it

@benjojo yikes. Too bad the leds don’t go blinky blink on your span… good luck with the fix
