Line Description
TX Power Low 
Warning threshold
Factory-defined setting. Value can differ between SFP and SFP+.
Power Low Warning 
threshold
Factory-defined setting. Value can differ between SFP and SFP+.
Temperature Current temperature of the sfps. If this temperature crosses Temp 
High alarm/warning thresholds, the temperature high alarm/warning 
flag is set to true.
Voltage Current voltage of the sfps. If this voltage crosses voltage high 
alarm/warning thresholds, the voltage high alarm/warning flag is set 
to true.
Tx Bias Current Present Tx bias current of the SFP. If this crosses bias high alarm/
warning thresholds, the tx bias high alarm/warning flag is set to true. 
If it falls below the low alarm/warning thresholds, the tx bias low 
alarm/warning flag is set to true.
Tx Power Present Tx power of the SFP. If this crosses Tx power alarm/warning 
thresholds, the Tx power high alarm/warning flag is set to true. If it 
falls below the low alarm/warning thresholds, the Tx power low 
alarm/ warning flag is set to true.
Rx Power Present Rx power of the SFP. This value is either average Rx power 
or OMA. This depends on the Rx Power measurement type displayed 
above. If this crosses Rx power alarm/warning thresholds, the Rx 
power high alarm/warning flag is set to true. If it falls below the low 
alarm/warning thresholds, the Rx power low alarm/warning flag is 
set to true.
Data Ready state 
Bar
This field indicates that the transceiver has achieved power up and 
data is ready. This is set to true if data is ready to be sent and set to 
false if data is being transmitted.
Rx LOS state This is the digital state of the Rx_LOS output pin. This is set to true if 
the operating status is down.
Tx Fault state This is the digital state of the Tx Fault output pin.
Rate Select state This is the digital state of the SFP rate_select input pin.
RS state This is the reserved digital state of the pin AS(1) per SFF-8079 and 
RS(1) per SFF-8431.
Tx Disable state If the admin status of the port is down then this flag is set to true.
Temperature High 
Alarm Flag
This can be either true or false, depending on the Current voltage 
value displayed above.
Voltage High Alarm 
Flag
This can be either true or false, depending on the Current 
Temperature value displayed above.
Tx Bias High Alarm 
Flag
This can be either true or false, depending on the present TX bias 
current value displayed above.
