Anyone tested Extender Gbics with 6900

I have a customer who wants to install 6900, but he has some old (62,5ยต) fiber buried to remote locatations.
He is using LC 100Mbit SFPs now, but we want to use Gigabit, where possible.

Using 6850 we could go for SFP-GIG-EXTND, using a 6900 i could go for new fiber, which is no option at the moment.

So any insights whether it could work with a SFP-GIG-EXTND in a 6900?

Hi devnull,

Yes, that is supported (I remember it was missing from the XCVR guide ...)

Here is the support matrix for the GIG transceivers:

Yes, the OS10K supports that transceiver as well ... (it is part of the table that I posted, second column from the right).
