I think a lot of US companies could learn a few things about customer service from fs.com. I want to dislike them, but they make it impossible.

This is the response from Fiberstore: "We suspect that our operations team may have mistakenly entered the wrong laser type for the 40km module when uploading the information to the website. We are currently confirming this internally. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused, we will make sure to internally confirm and correct this as soon as possible." _____ From: AF <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2024 11:33 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Optics light budget Sounds like error in specs.

From: castarritt Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2024 8:45 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Optics light budget If you read the datasheets, they say a "guaranteed optical link budget" of 10dB for the 20km, and 14dB for the 40km.

Jim Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Adam Moffett <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Date: 12/2/24 9:02 PM (GMT-06:00) To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [AFMUG] Optics light budget Help me understand this: 20km transceiver (SFP+ CWDM) https://www.fs.com/products/38707.html?now_cid=65 Max Tx power +6dBm. Rx sensitivity -14.4dBm. So a power budget of 20.4dB 40km transceiver (SFP+ CWDM https://www.fs.com/products/15385.html?now_cid=65 Max Tx power +5dBm. Rx sensitivity -15dBm. So a power budget of 20dB. What am I missing? These seem roughly equivalent. What makes one of them more appropriate for the 40km distance? I looked at Precision OT as well. Their 40km CWDM SFP+ has a power budget of about 20dB, and they don't even make a 20km one. Could this be kind of like CPUs where the 20km ones are just 40's that didn't test well? -Adam -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
