Re: DWDM and EDFA and DCM

Buy 80km sfp+ dwdm modulesŠ c21 and c51.
On this scenario a don¹t have a EDFA, only put these sfp+ and I have link
on other side( 60km) but I have a -19dbm and other side I have -21dbm( ddm
sfp+ output).. I think I have a better signal than thisŠ because I use
80km sfp+ and my distance is 60kmŠ can I  have a chromatic dispersion? I
think to use a EDFA, but i¹m not sure thisŠ if I have a chromatic
dispersion I have to use a DCM not a ADFA or a boosterŠ
Right?!

Does anyone have some experience to use dwdm monofiber mux/demux ( ex.
fiberstore ) about 68km using a ADFA ? Have I to use a DCM( for
chromatic

You have to use DCM when the chromatic dispersion caused by your distance
exceeds what your receiver optical module can handle.

So the answer is "it depends". If you're using 1GBASE-DWDM optics then
you'll be fine, if you use 10GBASE DWDM optics then it depends on the
distance they were designed to handle, if you buy the 40km ones then you
should have DCM.
