 Optical Transmit Power and Receive Sensitivity for Fiber Optic Connectors Table
 Related Information

This document provides the optical transmit power and receive sensitivity for fiber optic connectors on
various router and switch interfaces. These numbers can be used in the calculations explained in the
"Evaluating the Power Budget" section of the ATM Interface Processor (AIP) documentation. (When you
view the AIP documentation, use your browser's "Find" feature to locate the desired section of the document.)

Note: The AIP documentation uses the terms PT (minimum transmitter power) and PR (minimum receiver
sensitivity). In this document, the "transmit dBm min" column equals PT and the "receive dBm min" column
equals PR.

There are no specific requirements for this document.
