Transceiver Signaling Operating
Rate Range and BER Performance
The transceivers may be used
for other applications at
signaling rates different than
155 Mb/s with some variation
in the link optical power
budget. Figure 5 gives an
indication of the typical
performance of these products
at different rates.
Transceiver Jitter Performance
The Agilent 1300 nm
For purposes of definition, the
symbol (Baud) rate, also called
signaling rate, is the reciprocal
of the symbol time. Data rate
(bits/sec) is the symbol rate
divided by the encoding factor
used to encode the data
transceivers are designed to
operate per the system jitter
allocations stated in Table B1
of Annex B of the draft ANSI
T1E1.2 Revision 3 standard.

(symbols/bit).
These transceivers can also be
used for applications which
require different Bit Error
Rate (BER) performance.
Figure 6 illustrates the typical
trade-off between link BER
and the receivers input optical
power level.

below these maximum allowed
amounts.
