Environmental Conditions and Power Requirements
Table 15 presents the optical parameters, and Table 16 presents the temperature ranges.

7.8 (FC)
●
4.57 (GE)
Note: The fiber loss budget is derived from taking the difference between the minimum average transmit power
and the minimum average receive power and subtracting the link penalties. The specified fiber loss budget should
be used in calculating the maximum link distance.
