Extreme Networks SFP and SFP+ Modules
Optical Budget Calculation
When you plan an installation using the SX SFP module, Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cable splices or connectors and operating margin.
There is no minimum attenuation or minimum cable length restriction.
For technical specifications for the SX and Industrial Grade SX SFP, see Technical Specifications.

Optical Budget Calculation
Measure cable plant losses with a 1310 nm light source and verify this to be within budget.
When you calculate the maximum distance attainable using optical cable with a specified loss per kilometer (for example 0.25 dB/km), Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cable splices or connectors, and operating margin. There is no minimum system budget or minimum cable length restriction because the maximum receive power is the same as the maximum transmit power. There is no minimum attenuation or minimum cable length restriction.
