[AusNOG] Transceiver for dark fiber.

Tue Aug 17 11:39:41 EST 2021

Be cautious of using long range transceivers (LR) for short range duties -
you are pointing a very energetic LASER / LED towards a receiver that is
expecting a lot of energy to be lost before arrival.
Transceivers *do* have a minimum length, or they will require an attenuator.

for eg:

*Notice: When the long reach transceiver is used in short distance
transmission, please matched with appropriate attenuator according to the
table.*

Cheers,
