For clarification, I do know that the mainstream vendors can take standard wavelengths and can do long distances, but that's where the arms and legs come in.

I know there are various Asian vendors for low cost (less than $500) muxes to throw 16 or however many colors onto a strand. However, they don't work so well when you don't control the optics used on both sides (therefore must use standard wavelengths), obviously only do a handful of channels and have a distance limitation.
What solutions are out there that don't cost an arm and a leg?
