RE: MultiMode Fiber Connectivity... (850nm) Power Question

2015-02-11 Thread Jameson, Daniel
Usually on Multi-mode and Low-power single-mode optics the MaxOutputOpticalPower is less than or equal to the MaxInputOpticalPower, so it's not necessary to attenuate. The trade-off is optimized optics versus having an attenuator sticking out the front of the electronics. Something along the

Rule of thumb is you need Dispersion compensation for any single span over 60Km. 10G/STM64 has a CD Tolerance of 1176 ps/nm, 40G/STM256 has a CD tolerance of 73.5ps/nm but you don't want your dispersion number to ever go negative. If it's a single-span only rule of thumb is use the next
