Threshold Violation :TE -/-/-: Rx Power Low Alarm --------

I took over a network a little over a year ago noticed these messages in the logs of some of my layer 2 switches. I did some research and made some configuration changes but the problem was still there. It wasn't until I was setting up Devops net in my building that I learned that my entire building was wired for single mode fiber. When I looked deeper I found that some of my single mode cables were connected to SFP-SR (multimode) instead of SFPs-LR. After I replaced the SRs with LRs the messages went away. Hopefully this helps someone.

It all depends on distance. SFP-SR will work with Limited distance, LR - Long range required single mode Fibre.
