100 gig is going to have I believe 4 wavelengths.  This command shows you the 
level on each channel:

 

show interfaces et31/1 transceiver dom 

 

I think if one channel isn’t connected you wouldn’t get 100G link, but you’d 
still have receive power.  Bends and such can impact one channel and not 
another. 

 

This is just a WAG.  Good luck, sir.

TX Power   2~6.5dBm

 

I am struggling to get this 100gb link up. In the field this link is quoted at 
31 miles. The rx levels are -22 and -20 on both sides but I can't get it to 
link. I take the same optics to the lab and add 20dbm of attenuator to get 
almost the same rx levels as the field and it will link up. 

I have added error-correction encoding reed-solomon per the user guide for 
links over 40km.

So far I have not found a way to change the TX levels in arista, the options 
are in the CLI but they dont seem to change the outcome. For me this is the 
first time dealing with 80km optics or 100gb optics over 10km. 

switch is Arista DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R

There should be. What does their datasheey indicate for tx power range?

Yep labels identical but there is a difference in default power levels.

Oh, meaning the variance between the two, otherwise identical models?

Subject: [AFMUG] optical TX power levels

I got 2x 100gb 80km optics from FS that run difficult default TX power levels 
one is 3.81dBm and the other 2.63dBm, the config on the arista devices hosting 
the optics is the same.

 

Has anyone seen much difference between optic like this? My sample size is 
small due to the optices costing $4k each
