Worth it’s weight in gold, times 3!
Sometimes it’s shocking how expensive networking equipment can be. The current case in point is Cisco DWDM GBIC’s. These little puppies take in raw fiber and convert them into ethernet for high end switches and we have to use them to take in data feeds from some of our providers. The little guys weight about 2.5oz yet list for around $6,000! I need to remind our network team to treat these guys with kid gloves.
