Minimum range requirements for TL-SM321A and TL-SM321B modules
Region : Australia
Model : TL-SM321A
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi all, I am looking for some information that is not provided. These SFP modules can support distances over 10KM but I am installing a very short range link. Is there a minimum distance applicable to these modules before attenuation is required or could they be directly connected via a short fibre patch cord without receiver damage? I am constructing a link between two buildings which will total approximately 100 meters but I have not been able to find the transmit side output level and receiver specs to ensure I do not damage the modules. Obviously with two patches and 100M of fibre I will be seeing around 2db loss at most over the link.
