Fiber diameter
Diameter of the core of a fiber. According to international standards for optical fibers,
the diameter of a multi-mode fiber is 62.5 um or 50 um, and the diameter of a single-
mode fiber is 9 um.
Fiber class
Optical signals with different wavelengths have their best working windows in different
optical fibers. To help efficiently adjust wavelengths or dispersion features of optical
fibers and change their refractive indexes, the following classes are defined: multi-mode
fiber (G.651), common single-mode fiber (G.652), shifted dispersion fiber (G.653), and
non-zero shifted dispersion fiber (G.655). G.651 and G.652 are commonly used fiber
classes.
Connector type
Type of the interface on an optical module to accommodate a fiber. Commonly used
connector types are LC (applicable to all the SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules), MPO
(applicable to some of QSFP+ modules), and SC.
Transmit optical power
Output optical power of an optical module when it is working properly.
Maximum receiver
sensitivity
Minimum average input optical power that the receiver of an optical module can receive
within a range of bit error rate (BER = 10
-12
).
Overload optical power
Maximum average input optical power that the receiver of an optical module can receive
within a range of bit error rate (BER = 10
-12
).
Extinction ratio
Minimum ratio of the average optical power with signals transmitted against the average
optical power without signals transmitted in complete modulation mode. The extinction
ratio indicates the capability of an optical module to identify signal 0 and signal 1.
