[802.3BA] 40G/100G extended reach over parallel MMF - next step
Dear Task Force Members,
several technical solutions to extend the reach on parallel MMF are being investigated by the Ad-Hoc group.
To begin the selection process of the various proposals, the plan is to dedicate the next meeting to agree upon a set of criteria to compare the different reach enhancement techniques. The Ad-Hoc is therefore soliciting feedback and contributions during the next teleconference.
For the record these are the various techniques being discussed:
a) Tightening of the optical spec w/ or w/o OM4 fiber
b) CDR
c) EDC
d) FEC
(Note that combinations of various techniques are also being discussed as discussed in kolesar_xr_01_0508.pdf)
Secondly the Ad-Hoc group would like to request system vendors to provide feedback on their requirements, in order to verify some of the assumptions behind some of the proposals (for example can we assume FEC IC in every ASIC? Or an EDC or a CDR behind every 10G lane?).
System vendors are encouraged to review the material presented during the first teleconference (http://www.ieee802.org/3/ba/public/AdHoc/MMF-Reach/docs.html) and provide their input next week.
Below is the conference call notice for Thursday May 29th at 7am PT.
Thanks,
Alessandro
