 Comment: Only a single PMD 1000BASE-RH is given, but there are in fact 6 subtypes. It is general practice to make different PMD types for different power budgets. See for instance 100GBASE-LR4 and 100GBASE-ER4, which are specified in a single clause in the same tables, with different columns.

 CommentEnd:

 SuggestedRemedy: create 6 PMDs

 Subclause: 115.4

 Page:

 Line:

 CommentType: TR

 Comment: The transmitter spec in Table 115-3 does not provide “conventional” transmitter quality parameters, like TDP, which are normally used to ensure that the required distance can be bridged with acceptable penalties, and eye mask (or similar) spec that guarantees sufficient eye opening of the 16-level PAM16 signal under worst case (reflection) conditions. The commenter has been unable to find results of testing to check if the currently used parameters “amplitude”, “linearity” and “spectral width” are sufficient to support multi-vendor interoperability.

 CommentEnd:

 SuggestedRemedy: generate appropriate specification for multi-vendor compatibility

 CommentType: TR

 Comment: It’s totally unclear if this optical configuration is not sensitive to reflections from the POF link or whether it’s very sensitive to reflections (as one would expect from the kind of multi-level signals used) and then how to limit penalties by appropriate specifications of maximum discrete reflectance and receiver reflectance.

 CommentEnd:

 SuggestedRemedy: resolve sensitivity to reflections or state that it is not relevant, supported by appropriate testing

 Clause: 115

 Subclause:

 Page:

 Line:

 CommentType: TR

 Comment: Kind of conclusion on the assessment of Clause 115: The general state of Clause 115 for the optical spec appears underspecified to enable the development of multi-vendor interoperable devices. It probably will require a significant rewrite to bring it to a significantly more complete level comparable to the 1G bi-directional specs in Clause 59.

 CommentEnd:

 SuggestedRemedy: rewrite Clause 115 to make it appropriate to support multi-vendor compatibility, similar to Clause 59. Furthermore show test results that specification methodology is sufficient to support multi-vendor compatibility.
