  • What does it mean if the optical module power is too high

    What does it mean if the optical module power is too high

    Overloading of optical power, also known as saturated optical power, refers to the maximum allowable optical power that the optical module can withstand without causing signal “explosion” and subsequent data loss. The unit of measurement for overload optical power is dBm. When the optical modules at both ends of the link work normally, the transmit optical power is within a certain range, which can be learned by checking the corresponding product datasheet or reading the module threshold on the switch. If it still does not work, change the module. Even minor deviations—whether too high, too low, or unstable—can impact signal integrity, trigger service alarms, or interrupt traffic on DWDM, OTN, or long-haul optical line systems.
