Gary,
As Jonathan shows, running the spreadsheet for NRZ (PAM2) still results in appreciable penalties. By the way, this also occurs in the case of 10GE. Since we as an industry have deployed
a lot of 10GE, and we have not seen this issue arise.
I believe the conclusions are some mix of:
-
Return loss of deployed transceivers is much less than the minimum specified in 10GE SMF PMD’s
-
Return loss of deployed SMF connectors for 10GE is more benign than specified
-
MPI penalty method is still overestimating penalty values (laser linewidths? Other?)

Correcting the typo (I guess I haven’t woken up yet!)..
I haven’t been following this discussion carefully, but how can there be a 0.7dB MPI penalty for 25GBASE-ER ? I thought this PMD was based on NRZ, and for NRZ the MPI penalty was
minimal (compared to PAM4). I don’t believe we have accounted for 0.7dB MPI penalty in the existing 40GE and 100GE budgets in 802.3ba (or 10GE in 802.3ae for that matter).

Pete,
Thank you. I think this will be the way to do it for 25GBASE-ER.
What do people think about 25GBASE-LR? Should we tighten sensitivity and SRS by 0.7 dB or tradeoff channel insertion loss versus MPI? I think the consensus from the ad hoc call was to keep the
same 6.3 dB budget currently used at 10G and 100G-LR4.

David,
I think that if you want to adopt the principle of trading MPI penalty against channel insertion loss, then you should follow what was done for 100GBASE-DR in the P802.3cd draft:

Hi Kohichi,
I agree with what you say.
Thinking about it, we have 2 columns for 25GBASE-ER: the 30km column that has 3 dB of unallocated margin, and the 40km column that has 0 dB margin but is an “engineered link”.
Would you support the following:
- Add a note to the 3 dB margin in the 30km column that says the margin is to include allowance for an MPI penalty of up to 0.7 dB.
- Add a note to the 18 dB channel insertion loss in the 40 km column that says the 18 dB includes an allowance of up to 0.7 dB for MPI penalty.
I think that we need a comment that will not draw opposition in the recirculation ballot. I would like to know whether the above will be supported or opposed.
Regards,
David Lewis

Hi David,
For 25GBASE-ER, my feeling is that we’ve already put the sensitivity as low as it ought to be for APD receivers. The transmitter OMA is also on the high side. So,
to budget for MPI, I’d prefer to trade off a small amount of channel loss, leaving the powers as they are. One would expect use cases requiring the full loss budget to be rare, so it doesn’t seem necessary to burden the transmitter or receiver specifications
further, unless justification is provided from channel data.

Kohichi

Mike,
That’s my initial proposal. However if enough people object to the 0.7 dB reduction in sensitivity & SRS, we’ll need to introduce a loss table similar to the one in 100GBASE-DR.
During the ad hoc call there was opposition to the idea of giving users a tradeoff table for insertion loss for the 10km application. The point was that some users would want to operate over existing cable plant currently operating at
10 Gb/s. If we were to accept what I proposed, then those users would still need to check on how many connectors and the RL of each one, before knowing they could use it for 25 Gb/s. At least they would not need to measure channel loss before knowing they
could re-use a 10 Gb/s cable.

Is your proposal to not make any allowed trade offs between number of connectors and link loss? If so I think the numbers in the table on slide 6 would be replaced by ticks. I do wonder with such a large
difference between TDP and the allowance for penalties whether we should give people a clue what that is for. Maybe split the row into two. One that says “Allocation for TDP” (value of 2.7dB) and the other says “Allocation for other penalties including
Multi Path Interference” (value of 0.7dB).

All,
At the ad hoc on Wednesday I took an action to provide the changes that would be needed in the optical link parameter tables for an MPI penalty of 0.7 dB. See the attached presentation for what I think is needed.
The approach is to tighten Rx sensitivity and SRS by 0.7 dB for both the -LR and -ER variants. In addition this proposal tightens the Transmitter reflectance from a maximum of -12 dB to a maximum of -26 dB.
Please use the reflector for discussion of this topic. Our next ad hoc is on Wed June 28th and will be the only one between now and when the sponsor recirculation ballot ends.
