Abstract
High-speed multimode fiber (MMF) links provide high bandwidth and a cost-effective solution for short to medium-range data transmission. However, optical return loss (ORL) can be a significant factor degrading the performance of MMF links. More specifically, the “ORL issue” is dynamic: a link might initially be operational but degrades after a number of insertions, thus causing the link to go down. The techniques presented herein leverage a return loss (RL) detector to optimize high-speed MMF links, thus enhancing the capability of switches to continuously monitor reflections.
