Multi-mode transducer PRA-SFPSX (Max. 550mtr)

Optical transmitter
 TX Power
 850nm : -4 ~ -9,5 dBm

Optical receiver
 RX Sensitivity
 850nm : -18 dBm

Power budget
 @ 850nm : -9,5 dBm - -18 dBm = 8,5 dB

Max. theoretical distance

 Attenuation 3db/km
 Distance 8.5 dB / 3 dB = 2,8 km.

Single-mode transducer PRA-SFPLX (Max. 10km)

Optical transmitter
 TX Power
 1310nm : -3 - -9,5 dBm

Optical receiver
 RX Sensitivity
 1310nm : -20 dBm

Power budget
 @ 1310nm : -9,5 dBm - -20 dBm = 10,5 dB

Max. theoretical distance

 Attenuation 0,4 dB/km
 Distance 10,5 dB / 0,4 dB = 26,25 km.
