Bob, to reply quickly, Not speaking for Cisco, and not having any specific knowledge of that product or that approval, and without checking the 2 spec's for comparison at this time... I'm recalling that the measurement aperture size is different for the 2 spec's (10mm vs. 15mm??), so even if the pwr limits may be the same at a given wavelength, for classification, the measurement is, I believe, performed differently, thus - different measurement values can be obtained for the same product per the 2 different specifications.
I'm sure someone here will look into this deeper.... Best regards, Stephen C. Phillips These opinions are my own, and not those of Cisco Systems.
