Alvin & all,

 

I will be on sabbatical for the next two meetings, so I will not be able to provide any further input on agenda item 5.  However, anyone who wishes can look at http://www.t11.org/ftp/t11/pub/fc/pi-4/07-706v0.pdf and http://www.t11.org/ftp/t11/pub/fc/pi-4/07-706v0.zip.  

 

I would also like to take this opportunity to state my opposition to the change in reference TX output level in T10/07-486r1.  We have previously set the peak-peak reference TX output at 1000 mV (800mV VMA).  The particular motivation was to not overspecify end devices with low cost packages.  I suggest that no application will drive a 10 meter cable with the ~600mV VMA implied by Table 73 in 07-486r1.

 

Happy Holidays everyone.

 

Regards,

Mike
