1. The 1000BASE-ZX GBIC transceiver provides a minimum optical power budget of
23 dB. To determine the supported link distance, you need to measure your cable plant
with an optical loss test set to verify that the optical loss of the cable plant (including
connectors and splices) is less than or equal to this value. The optical measurement
must be performed with a 1550 nanometer light source.
Table B-7 lists the physical and environmental specifications for the GBIC transceivers.
