 lists the transmit specifications for the 10GBASE-ER/EW XFP. 

7 Stressed eye jitter is a test condition for measuring stressed receiver sensitivity. It is not 

a required characteristic of the receiver.

Signaling speed (nominal)

10GBASE-ER 10.3125 GBd, 10GBASE-EW 9.95328 GBd

Signaling speed variation 
from nominal (max)

 (min)

1 Average launch power (min) is informative and not the principal indicator of signal 

strength. A transmitter with launch power below this value cannot be compliant, 
however, a value above this does not ensure compliance.
