Rx power low warning; Operating value: -20.7 dBm, Threshold value: -20.0 dBm

Hi,

I have installed a new 2960 plus with a original cisco sfp module connected to a 2960S, also with a new cisco sfp, as a trunk.
Curently they are connected with a 2 mtr. fiber cable.

The 2960S keeps logging this information:
Rx power low warning; Operating value: -20.7 dBm, Threshold value: -20.0 dBm

 

Should I be concerned?
