Re: [STDS-802-3-400G] [802.3_400G] IEEE P802.3bs 400 Gb/s Ethernet MMF Ad Hoc - August 8th unapproved minutes

Hi Mike,

This tends to be more of an issue in WDM systems where the power is all in one fiber. Since this is ribbon fiber, I suspect it needs to be investigated what the cross-sectional area is of the ribbon fiber and what the chance is that more than x of 16 lanes would be incident on someone’s eye in the event of cutting the cable or pulling the connector. I think the connector distributes the lanes widely enough it isn’t a problem. I suppose if someone saw this as an application for multicore fiber this might be more of an issue.

Regards,

Steve

One key aspect of whether a 16x25G solution can heavily leverage 100GBASE-SR4 is whether the output power per lane would have to be reduced significantly due to eye safety concerns.    I would encourage the experts to address this.  (I don’t think it has been yet.)

Dear all

Unapproved minutes for the 400G MMF ad hoc are available on the MMF ad hoc public area.  Here’s a link:

 

http://www.ieee802.org/3/bs/public/adhoc/mmf/index.shtml

 

 

Please let me have any comments or corrections as soon as you are able – thank you!

 

As announced at the last MMF 400G ad hoc call, the next ad hoc will be hosted on August 22^nd, 8am to 10am Pacific.

 

Best wishes

jonathan
