Re: [10GMMF] Measured 62MMF connector loss with various offsets


Joerg,
thanks for the experimental validation.  One explanation for the differences between David's calculations and your measurements might be the tolerance on the offset launch position within the offset launch patch cord.  The spec is 20 +/- 3 um for a 62 um fiber.  I believe cords at the high end of this range (i.e. 23 um offset) would tend produce a launch that causes higher loss than cords at the lower end (i.e. 17 um offset).

David,
did you model a nominal (i.e. 20 um) offset?

Dear All,

Enclosed you will find the experimental verification of the calculated connector loss for various fiber offsets.
I used standard offset patchcord for 62,5µm fibers for fiber launch and measured the loss for several offsets of the multimode fiber.
The calculation of David Cunningham for this case fits well to the measured values.

Regards
Joerg

Dear All,

As promised on todays Fiber Channel Ad Hoc I attach a PDF file containing the following information:

* My calculated graphs of connector loss versus offset for overfilled launch, steady state launch and 23 um offset single mode launch.

* The agreed draft of the worst-case test configuration for channel time variation measurements with comments from our call to document our reasoning behind the chosen configuration.

Regards,
David
