sfp+ - 10gig - which quality of fibre

Post by silvio »

Does somebody used 6850E with 10gig-SR, connected with multimode OM2? At one of our customers there are big problems also with a short OM2-patch-cable. The problems are gone if we use OM3. I haven't found any official Alcatel-docu about the max. distance with OM2 and 10gig. We haven't such issues with XFP-SR-moduls - only with 6850E and SFP+.
Are there any successfull installations with OM2 - or have somebody the same issues like we?
thanks and regards

We have found the reason - Alcatel is now searching for the solution of the issue (PR is opened).
If you make a link between to of the Alcatel switche via 10gig-SFP+ modules attached at the back-site of switches (the stacking module replaced with the OS6-XNI-U2) than there is the error.

Alcatel has solved the issue with a new release. Yesterday I have tested a private one successfully.
