EPIMs

NOTE

Transmitter Power decreases as temperatures rise and increases as temperatures fall. Use the Output Power Coefficient to calculate increased or decreased power output for your operating environment. For example, the typical power output at 25°C is -16.4 dBm. For a 4°C temperature increase, multiply the typical coefficient (-0.15 dBm) by four and add the result to typical output power (4 x - 0.15 dBm + -16.4 = -17.0).

NOTE

The transmitter power levels given above are Peak Power Levels after optical overshoot. You must use a Peak Power Meter to correctly compare the values given above to those measured on any particular port. If you are 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 above (i.e., -33.5 dBm average + 3 dB = -30.5 dBm peak).

EPIM-C

The EPIM-C supports thin-net coaxial cabling and is equipped with an internal Cabletron Systems TMS-3™ Transceiver. You can use the TERM switch on the front of the EPIM-C to set the internal 50-ohm terminator. This eliminates the need to connect the port to a tee-connector and terminator. Figure A-4shows the setting for the terminator switch.
