Vipul, The situation is much more straightforward for 1310 nm WDM. IEC 60825-2 (2010) includes “Table D.1 – OFCS power limits for 11 μm single mode (SM) fibres and 0,18 numerical aperture multimode (MM) fibres (core diameter < 150 μm)” This lists the power limit for 1310 nm (SM) Hazard level 1 as +14.1 dBm. Regards, Pete Anslow | Senior Standards Advisor From: Vipul Bhatt [mailto:vbhatt@xxxxxxxxx] Would someone be willing to provide an update on this topic for ~1300 nm duplex SMF as well? Thank you.

See: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/ba/public/mar08/petrilla_02_0308.pdf for a discussion of a ten lane version of the problem. Since then, new versions of the relevant standards IEC 60825-1 and IEC 60825-2 have been issued by IEC.

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 From: Mike Dudek [mailto:mike.dudek@xxxxxxxxxx] 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.)
