Brad,
I will provide an update on OM4 standardization
activity at the 802.3ba meeting. In short, it is proceeding in both
IEC and TIA.

Steve,
What is the status of the OM4

Thanks,

John,
My preferred solution is a single
PMD that supports:
At least 150m on OM3
At least 250m on OM4
This is essentially the Jack Jewell
proposal from Munich.
It does not require a change to
the objectives (since it will meet "at least 100m on OM3 fiber."
It does require a modification
to the baseline proposal that was approved in Munich.
I plan to participate on the call
on Thursday.
Best regards,
Steve

Subject: [802.3BA] XR ad hoc Phone Conference Notice
Colleagues
This is a reminder/notice that our
next XR ad hoc phone conference is scheduled for Thursday, July 10, 8:30
to 10:30 AM PDT. Please see the invitation below for additional details.
This will be our last meeting before
the July 802.3ba meeting. It will be appreciated by the task force
if, at that meeting, we provide a recommended extended reach solution.
While some phone conference time may be devoted to filling in the
blanks of the comparison matrix and debating the accuracy of various entries,
it is important that we begin the selection process.
1, Minimum reach for XR should be 200 to 250 m. Using OM4 is acceptable.
2, Solutions where modules are different are preferred to solutions where
line cards are different.
3, An installer should be able to readily determine if the extended reach
is supported by a particular port on a given device.
If these criteria do not reflect your priorities, you are encouraged to
provide yours as a contribution.
Finally, Alessandro will host and chair
this next phone conference. I will continue to maintain the comparison
matrix.
Regards,
John
