optical modules

[tangzheng]

Please help check if there is any official documentation introducing 10G 10km and 40G 10km optical modules regarding optical attenuation values, link loss, transmit optical power (Tx Power), receive sensitivity (Rx Sensitivity), receive overload point (Rx Overload), and other official link information, and how to calculate link loss.

Hello @tangzheng 

Please refer here:

Both the standards and vendor datasheets publish the optical parameters you asked.

The specifications for the various optical modules are available on the following webpage:

A previous post provided the a website that explains calculating the link loss.
