The transmitter power levels listed in Table A-1 are peak power levels after optical overshoot. A peak power meter must be used to correctly compare the values given below to those measured on any particular port. If power levels are being measured with an average power meter, add 3 dBm to the measurement to compare the measured values to the values listed below.

Table A-1. Transmitter Power Levels

Cable Type	Worst Case Budget	Typical Budget
50/125 ∝m fiber	6.0 dB	9.0 dB
62.5/125 ∝m fiber	9.0 dB	12.0 dB
100/140 ∝m fiber	15.0 dB	18.0 dB
