Appendix 3. Reuse of Existing Multimode Optical Fiber Cable
App.3-2
TI 30A10A30-01E
Performance checks
(1) Optical attenuation
Check that the total loss of the optical power at 1310 nm wavelength by using a stabilized
light source and an optical power meter. The total loss must not exceed 5 dB.
(2) Quality of signal transmission affected by the modal bandwidth
Perform continuous PING test with 1,500 byte packet length between a pair of L2SW
connected to the existing fiber cable with using GRVSFP-674FA (M-FAST SFP-MM/LC).
The cable must pass the PING test of successive 10000 packets without error.
The existing optical fiber cable cannot be reused for Vnet/IP unless it passes the performance
checks.
