Hi guys, 

 

When I look into the MDS installation guide, there's a paragraph about SFP+ Average power indicated as below. 

In this charts, for the row DS-SFP-FC16G-SW, What does "Min 7,8" column means ? Is it typo ?

 

How do I use this chart to calculate the correct dBm that is acceptable for each rate. 

If i reading it correctly, the below sfp don't need to be replaced.

Personally i do not believe you required to change this SFP, as long as you do not see any network performance or issue with connectivity.
