Dario asked 4 weeks ago

Hi, if possible I would like to know the power beyond which the receiver “blinds” (maximum receive power) of the product “Cisco GLC-EZX160-SMD Compatible 1000BASE-EZX160 SFP 1550nm 150-160km Transceiver”

Hi Dario,
The maximum receive power for this SFP is -9dBm. If you using this long reach SFP transceiver in short-distance transmission, please add an LC fiber attenuator (≥15dB) to avoid receiver damage and overload.
