Talking to several customers they are saying they are currently deploying 40G-SR4 with 100 m reach on OM3 or 150 m on OM4, they want to support the same reach on 100G-SR4. Due to high cost of 40G-LR4 optics, in some case the 40G-SR4 links in proprietary application are pushed beyond 100/150 m reach, I expect you might have seen similar requests.

Regarding the two conclusions on page 2, the second, “A 100 m OM4 …” is intended to include MMF cabling cost. While I may not have reliable data on the relative costs of 100 m of OM4 OM3, I believe reducing the fiber count from 20 to 8 covers a large range of premium. I will try to clarify my intent. Thanks again, John John, Great effort. On your slide 2, can you make clear whether your conclusion includes the MMF cabling cost? Jeff Hello Jonathan Attached is a draft presentation prepared for the Newport Beach meeting. Although I’m not sure of my schedule/availability for Tuesday morning, I would appreciate feedback from any who care to offer some. Have MMF ad hoc conference contact details for Tuesday been distributed? Regards, John Dear all A reminder that there will be an MMF ad hoc meeting on Tuesday 17th Jan 2012, from 8am to 10.30 am PCT, in order to minimize the overlap with a concurrent OIF meeting. If you have material to present, please let me know before hand. Thanks Jonathan +1 408 368 3071
