is sometimes overlooked that to drive the receiver too high can be as bad as to send too low a signal. I hope this helps Sent from my HTC - Reply message - From: "Martin T" Date: Sun, Aug 7, 2011 22:03 Subject: [j-nsp] acceptable/good laser receive power in case of different interfa

Depending on whose optics you're using there should be a data sheet that shows the acceptable Tx/Rx levels for each type available from your vendor. I can't seem to locate a document for Juniper at the moment. But I assume they shouldn't be that far off from Cisco stuff. For example, here's a da

What is the acceptable Rx power in case of SFP/XFP? For example, here are XFP Tx and Rx signals from six FXP's: 1: Laser output power: 1.2920 mW / 1.11 dBm Laser rx power: 0.0285 mW / -15.45 dBm 2: Laser output power:
