Notes:
- RMS spectral width is the standard deviation of the spectrum.
- The normative lowest value of OMA for a compliant transmitter is ‘Launch power in OMA minus TDEC, each lane (min)’ plus the actual value of ‘TDEC’, but with a value of at least ‘OMA, each lane (min)’.
- TDEC is calculated from the measured TDECm using the methods in 3.6. TDECm is measured following the method in IEEE 802.3 clause 95.8.5 using a 12.6 GHz bandwidth reference receiver for all lanes.
- If measured into type A1a.2 or type A1a.3 50 um fiber in accordance with IEC 61280-1-4.
- Unstressed sensitivity at BER of 5E-5 (pre FEC).

Notes:
- GND is the symbol for signal and supply (power) common for QSFP28 modules. All are common within the QSFP28 module and all module voltages are referenced to this potential unless otherwise noted. Connect these directly to the host board signal common ground plane.
- VccRx, Vcc1 and VccTx are the receiving and transmission power suppliers and shall be applied concurrently. Recommended host board power supply filtering is shown in the spec. VccRx, Vcc1 and VccTx may be internally connected within the QSFP28 transceiver module in any combination. The connector pins are each rated for a maximum current of 1000mA.
