Re: [802.3BA] XR ad hoc Phone Conference Notice
That's an excellent point. I'm glad that Jeff
brought this up.
The objectives state 100m on OM3. That is the
requirement of the project and one by which the draft standard will be
judged. There is no requirement to satisfy a
non-objective.
Thanks,

Frank,
If I interpret correctly, you are saying that all users
should amortize the cost of very few who need extended reach.
We need to be careful how we proceed here - we should not
repeat the mistakes of the past if we want successful standard.

Hi Jeff;
Thanks for your
comment. You missed one critical point that there is cost increase from OM3 to
OM4. If you take ribbon cable cost in perspective, OM4 option is possibly the
largest of the 4 options.
Besides, the use of OM4 requires to tighten TX
specs which impact TX yield, so you are actually compromising the primary goal.

Dear MMF XR Ad Hoc Committee Members,
I believe our current objective
of “at least 100 meters on OM3 MMF” should remain as a primary goal, the
baseline. Support for any form of extended reach should be considered only
if it does not compromise this primary goal. A single PMD for all reach
objectives is indeed a good starting premise; however, it should not be
paramount. In the following lists are factors, enhancements, or approaches
I would like to put forward as acceptable and not acceptable for obtaining
extended reach.
Not Acceptable:
1. Cost
increase for the baseline PMD (optic) in order to obtain greater than 100-meter
reach
2. EDC on the system/host board in any
case
3. CDR on the system/host board as part
of the baseline solution
4. EDC in the
baseline PMD (optic)
5. CDR in the baseline
PMD (optic)
Acceptable:
1. Use of OM4
fiber
2. Process maturity that yields longer
reach with no cost increase
In summary, we should not burden the baseline
solution with cost increases to meet the needs of an extended-reach
solution.
Sincerely,
Jeffery Maki
