ZX mini-GBIC
The ZX mini-GBIC requires the software versions listed in Table 49
Table 50 lists the specifications for the ZX mini-GBIC interface.
Measure cable plant losses with a 1550 nm light source and verify this to be within budget. When you
calculate the maximum distance attainable using optical cable with a specified loss per kilometer (for
example, 0.25 dB/km), Extreme Networks recommends that you reserve 3 dB of the total budget for
losses induced by cable splices or connectors and operating margin. A minimum system budget or
attenuation is required to prevent saturation of the receiver.
