Guy:
	Could you get the following information 
for me please.
	For the Single mode optics on DEC FDDI 
equipment (Concentrator 500):
	What is the transmit ouput power level?
	What is the receiver sensitivity (min 
power level to operate)?
	What is the receiver overload (max power 
level)?
	Is the fiber that is on the card (receive 
side, from the connector to the photodiode) single 
or multi mode?  Apparently, most of our single 
mode transmission equipment uses multi mode on the 
receive side of the card because of lower losses 
in the interface to the photodiode.  This allows 
us to use a lower cost multimode attenuator. 
Thanks.

	For the Single mode optics on DEC FDDI 
equipment (Concentrator 500):
	What is the transmit ouput power level?
     		-8.0 dBm   minimum
	What is the receiver sensitivity (min 
power level to operate)?
     		-30.0 dBm  minimum
	What is the receiver overload (max power 
level)?
     		-14.0 dBm
	Is the fiber that is on the card (receive 
side, from the connector to the photodiode) single 
or multi mode?  
     		The fiber on the receiver is a multimode fiber.
