Power Degrade 
Low (dBm)
Shows the current value of the optical 
power degrade high threshold configured 
in the card. This threshold applies only 
when the amplifier is active and in 
constant power mode.
Power Degrade Low refers to the port’s 
Signal Output Power value and is 
automatically calculated by the 
TCC2/TCC2P when the amplifier is 
turned up.
The Power Degrade Low threshold is 
automatically linked to the Output Power 
Setpoint on the Parameters tab. Changing 
the setpoint changes the Power Degrade 
Low threshold. The threshold value is 
always 2 dB lower than the Output Power 
Setpoint.
APC can modify this value based on the 
number of OCHNC circuits the amplifier 
is managing.
