Sub components? Are we talking the lasers and chips? They are different than what you would find any where else. Some of the stuff you find in an enterprise level LAN is used in a smaller LAN, but not all of it. Cisco 6500 series switches have been around for about 5 years now, and I think there is less than a 25% difference in components and chassis price since then. Wierd, eh?

What about the cost of the subcomponents? I would think that would be
dropping as many of the subcomponents you find in an enterprise level LAN is
used in smaller LAN's.  Also, there is the simple demand curve.  If you drop
the price, companies will buy more to be able to sell more bandwidth, thus
increasing their profits, and their ability to buy even more equipment.
