DWDM Fiber Links issue

Good day folks,

I'm having an issue in a DC and I'm getting crazy. We have two data centers connected to each other by a DWDM Links.

I have a BAGG1 (Prod) with 5 DWDM Circuits

GE1/3/0/1 
GE1/3/0/2 
GE1/3/0/3 
GE2/3/0/1 
GE2/3/0/2

And BAG10 (BUR) with 3 DWDM Circuits

GE1/3/0/4 
GE2/3/0/3
GE2/3/0/4

The 3 links marked are flapping. But is a random flap. Last week two times, yesterday two times. This issue is beeing going for about 3 weeks.

Things done.

We replaced the modules

We replaced the SFPs

We tested the fiber

The ISP tested the fiber, they said they have a 10gb fiber where the links goes and also with other customer, so, the fiber is not the issue.

We swapped GE2/3/0/3 with GE2/3/0/4 in the BUR BAGG and GE2/3/0/4 flaps so I don't see a hardware or fiber issue

Could be the DWDM Multiplexers? Always they flap at the same time.

So you are saying after swapping the ports the issue stayed with the DWDM?  That would suggest a hardware issue to me.

Are you sure all patch leads or anything else in the optical path is the same size and type (e,g. 50 micron, OM4, etc)?
