Fukouka-san,
Thank
you for your comment; these terms are often confused with
each other and was one of the reasons for the letter from
ISO/IEC SC25/WG3 to IEEE 802.3 in 2010.
Optical
return loss for individual events, i.e. the reflection
above the fiber backscatter level, relative to the
source pulse, is called reflectance.
Optical return loss is given in units of dB and always a
negative value for passive optics, with values closer to 0
representing larger reflections (poorer connections).
Return loss for the
entire fiber under test, including fiber backscatter
and reflections and relative to the source pulse, is
called Optical Return Loss (ORL). It is also given in units of dB,
but always a positive value, with values closer to 0 dB
representing more total light reflected.
Here
is an example of how these are specified in Clause 52,
10GBASE-S:
52.14.2.2
Maximum discrete reflectance
The
maximum discrete reflectance for 10GBASE-S shall be less
than –20 dB.

Subject: [EXTERNAL]--Re: [802.3_OMEGA] Baseline
test for IEEE 802.3cz PMD/MDI
Hello
Steve,
Thank
you for your contribution.
I
have a comment on the below statement:
>
300.8.2.2.2 Maximum discrete reflectance
> The maximum discrete reflectance shall be less than TBD
dB.
According
to the other IEEE802.3 optical PHY standards, the optical
reflection
(optical
reflection tolerance for optical transmitter) shall be less
than -12dB.
I
think we'd better to follow the wisdom of old people as far
as there is no particular reason.
RIN
influenced by optical reflection is varied by the design of
both VCSEL chip and optical coupling system,
so
that it will be easier (with lower cost) to purchase them in
the market.
The
attached letter might be good to understand the definition
of optical reflection of the channel.
Best
regards,
Takashi
Fukuoka

All,
On the IEEE 802.3cz call today, I provided a contribution on baseline text for the PMD/MDI (attached). I would like to make a motion to adopt this text as part of the baseline text at our next interim meeting as we move to D1.0.
The purpose of this note is twofold:
- Can I ask you to review the contribution and let me know if you have any comments to improve the text?
- Can I ask you to review the contribution and let me know if I can add you as a supporter for the contribution?
I would like to get your input prior to Friday, March 5 so I can make any necessary changes and submit for consideration by IEEE 802.3cz at our March 16 interim meeting.
Thanks,
Steve
