SX multimode output interface

Table 1 defines the serial optical signal at the multimode duplex receptacle when coupled into a multimode duplex jumper cable. The parameters specified are based on the requirement that the bit error rate does not exceed 10-12, including operation at the minimum interface power level. The use of a coherent light source, such as a laser diode, is required.

Notes:
  1. Lesser of class 1 laser safety limits (CDRH and EN 60825) or receiver power, maximum.
  2. Based on any valid 8B/10B code pattern. The minimum length of a SM jumper cable between the output interface and the instrumentation is 2 meters.
  3. If using the higher bandwidth cable option of 2000 MHz•km in (see ANSI FC-PI-2), the center wavelength minimum is further restricted to 840 nm.
  4. Optical rise and fall time specifications are based on the unfiltered waveforms. For the purpose of standardizing the measurement method, measured waveforms shall conform to the Transmitter Eye Diagram Mask as defined in ANSI FC-PI-2. If a filter is needed to conform to the mask, the filter response effect should be removed from the measured rise and fall times using the equation: TRISE/FALL = [(TRISE/FALL_MEASURED)2 – (TRISE/FALL_FILTER)2]1/2

    The optical signal may have different rise and fall times. Any filter should have an impulse response equivalent to a fourth order Bessel-Thomson Filter. See the ANSI FC-PI-2 standard.

  5. Optical Modulation Amplitude (OMA) values are peak-to-peak. OMA is defined in terms of Extinction Ratio (ER) and optical average power (Pavg), which can be derived from the equation OMA = 2Pavg ((ER-1)/(ER+1)). The specified OMA at 1.0625 Gbps is equivalent to an average power of -9 dBm at ER = 9.

  7. Transmitter deterministic performance is controlled by TWDP.
