"Without doubt" will give you surprises. See PR/486951 for extended
fun with certain revision of Juniper-premium-price-sold Picolight/JDSU
XFPs with links not coming up anymore. Or the desaster with early
revision of Methode Elec. SFP-T which had a bad physical design of
the locking/ejection mechanics so you were almost unable to remove
them from without damaging the DPC.

Bottom line: we had far less trouble with 3rd party transceivers than
with Juniper premium priced transceivers.... for a fraction of cost.


Best regards,
Daniel
