I think a lot of US companies could learn a few things about customer service from fs.com. I want to dislike them, but they make it impossible.

This is the response from Fiberstore: "We suspect that our operations team may have mistakenly entered the wrong laser type for the 40km module when uploading the information to the website. We are currently confirming this internally. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused, we will make sure to internally confirm and correct this as soon as possible." _____ From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com <mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> > on behalf of ch...@go-mtc.com <mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com> <ch...@go-mtc.com <mailto:ch...@go-mtc.com> > Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2024 11:33 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Optics light budget Sounds like error in specs.

From: castarritt Sent: Tuesday, December 3, 2024 8:45 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Optics light budget If you read the datasheets, they say a "guaranteed optical link budget" of 10dB for the 20km, and 14dB for the 40km.

Rx sensitivity -14.4dBm. So a power budget of 20.4dB 40km transceiver (SFP+ CWDM https://www.fs.com/products/15385.html?now_cid=65 Max Tx power +5dBm. Rx sensitivity -15dBm. So a power budget of 20dB. What am I missing? These seem roughly equivalent. What makes one of them more appropriate for the 40km distance? I looked at Precision OT as well. Their 40km CWDM SFP+ has a power budget of about 20dB, and they don't even make a 20km one. Could this be kind of like CPUs where the 20km ones are just 40's that didn't test well? -Adam -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
