i did.  Usually my NANOG and J-NSP email list gets me a quicker solution than JTAC.

Open a JTAC case,

That looks like a work for them

Kind Regards,

We recently added MPC10E-15C-MRATE cards to our MX960's to upgrade our core to 400g.  During initial testing of the 400g interface (400GBASE-FR4), I see constant FEC errors.  FEC is new to me.  Anyone know why this is occurring?  Shown below, is an interface with no traffic, but seeing constant FEC errors.  This is (2) MX960's cabled directly, no dwdm or anything between them... just a fiber patch cable.
