SX multimode input interface

Table 1 specifies the input interface requirements. To assist in fault isolation, the input interface activates a loss-of-signal (LOS) state when the optical data cannot be detected.

Notes:
  1. Based on any valid 8B/10B code pattern measured at, or extrapolated to, 10-12 BER. Must meet this specification with worst-case conditions as specified in Table 1 for the output interface and Table 1 for the fiber optic link.
  2. This measurement is made using a 2 meter (minimum length) single mode duplex jumper cable and includes only the power in the fundamental mode of the single mode fiber.
  3. FC-PI specifies receiver Optical Modulation Amplitude (OMA) instead of sensitivity and Extinction Ratio (ER). Receiver sensitivity is the minimum optical average power (Pavg) required, which can be derived from the equation Pavg = OMA ((ER+1)/2 x (ER-1)). The specified OMA at 1.0625 Gbps is equivalent to an average power of -17 dBm at ER=9dB.
