Be cautious of using long range transceivers (LR) for short range duties - you are pointing a very energetic LASER / LED towards a receiver that is expecting a lot of energy to be lost before arrival. Transceivers *do* have a minimum length, or they will require an attenuator.
for eg: https://www.fs.com/au/products/48813.html *Notice: When the long reach transceiver is used in short distance transmission, please matched with appropriate attenuator according to the table.* Cheers, Bob w On Tue, 17 Aug 2021 at 11:22, Scott McInness <[email protected]> wrote: > FS has been good here too.
