Item 8.01: Other Events.

On November 19, 2007, Sycamore Networks, Inc. (the “Registrant”) received a “Wells Notice” from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the previously disclosed ongoing SEC investigation into the Registrant’s historical stock option granting practices and related accounting.  The Wells Notice provides notification that the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the Commission bring a civil action against the Registrant for possible violations of the securities laws.  Under the process established by the SEC, recipients have the opportunity to respond in writing (a “Wells Submission”) to a Wells Notice before the Staff makes any formal recommendation to the Commission regarding what action, if any, should be brought by the SEC.  In connection with the contemplated recommendation, the Staff may seek remedies, including, among other things, a permanent injunction and a civil penalty.  The Registrant intends to provide a Wells Submission to the SEC.  There can be no assurance that the SEC will not bring civil enforcement action against the Registrant.
