    Can anyone tell me what the power budget figures are for the SMF PMD
    option on the 900MX?
    
    I'm planning a 6km single mode fibre link between two sites using
    (potentially?) 900MX's at either end.
    
    Also does it remain necessary to have a minimum of 12db attenuation
    when using the 900mx's in this way?

|     The available optical power budget for the SMF PMD is 22 dB.
    
    It is still necessary to have 12 dB minimum attenuation in the cable
    plant.
