Power Threshold Error

Level 1

Good afternoon everyone:

I am seeing the following errors on a fiber cross connection between two Cisco 2960X switches:

 

Side A (WS-C2960X-48LPS-L 15.0(2a)EX5)

notice local7 10610: Feb 26 18:48:46.973: %SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Gi1/0/49: Rx power high warning; Operating value: -2.1 dBm, Threshold value: -3.0 dBm

 

Side B (WS-C2960X-48LPS-L 15.0(2a)EX5 )

notice local7 1394: Feb 26 18:36:12.504: %SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Gi1/0/49: Rx power low warning; Operating value: -17.3 dBm, Threshold value: -17.0 dBm

 

Here is the output for the transceivers

Side A

Any suggestions on how to properly address this error message?
