Thank You Bob Evans CTO
Hello,
I was looking for feedback on the following question:-
When connecting two MM SFP/SFP+/XFP 's together...(short range).
What should be the best practice receive power range ?
Is it true that if the rx power is higher than (x?) then it shortens the life of the optics ?
Yes, but thats only true about single mode frequencies not multimode (MM) because those are not as powerful. All MM is expected to go a very limited distance, so levels are never high. We have MM 3 foot jumpers between gear running for years.
(assumption being made here is that MAX Rx Power is not being exceed as per the spec sheets of the optics)
