I am getting ready to buy about 2 dozen gbics for some new Cisco switches we are deploying. Normally I would always just buy Cisco gbics when I order the switches but they were not ordered. I have always used oem Cisco optics and have no experience with other brands but just because I was curious I priced out Axiom gbics. The cost was about 1/3. I dont have an issue spending the money if I need to but I also wouldn't mind the extra budget money.
Do any of you have experience with optics other than Cisco in your gear, specifically Axiom?
On a side note has anyone used any of the Axiom 10GB optics? They are like 1/5 the cost of the Cisco ones we bought 3 years ago
