EPIM-F3
The EPIM-F3 supports Single Mode Fiber Optic cabling. It has an internal
Cabletron Systems FOT-F™ Fiber Optic Transceiver and is equipped with ST
Connectors. Figure A-3 shows the EPIM-F3. Specifications for the EPIM-F3 are
listed in Table A-3.
The link distance is up to 40 kilometers (max) and 25 kilometers (typical) on
single mode fiber-optic cable as specified by ANSI SMF-PMD.

The transmitter power levels and receive sensitivity levels listed are Peak Power
Levels after optical overshoot. A Peak Power Meter must be used to correctly
compare the values given above to those measured on any particular port. If
Power Levels are being measured with an Average Power Meter, then 3 dBm must
be added to the measurement to correctly compare those measured values to the
values listed (i.e., -30.5 dBm peak = -33.5 dBm average).
