Fiber Optic TPIM Specifications

Table A-3. TPIM-F3 Specifications (Continued)

Parameter	Typical	Minimum	Maximum
Fall Time	2.5 nsec	2.2 nsec	5.0 nsec
Duty Cycle	50.1%	49.6%	50.7%

Bit Error Rate: Better than 10-10

The transmitter power levels given in Table A-3 are Peak Power Levels after optical overshoot. A Peak Power Meter is required to correctly compare the values given above to those measured on any particular port. When measuring power levels with an Average Power Meter, add 3 dBm to the average power measurement to correctly compare the average power values measured to the values listed in Table A-3 (i.e., -33.5 dBm average + 3 dB = -30.5 dBm peak).
