Thanks! That cisco sounds like a hell of equipment. Is it loud? And how much power does it draw?

And thanks for pointing at CWDM4, these are quite cheap on ebay now

Oh they are both loud and eat a ton of power. I think the 9305 is at least 800 watts at idle. That is the biggest downside of the retired datacenter gear... yo u really need a dedicated room with power, cooling, and sound isolation.
