Fiber TX/RX dBm specs with QSFPs

All,

Trying to understand the optimal dBm for SFP/QSFP.

From looking at Cisco command show int f01/1/1 transceiver detail

Now I have been told that it should be close to 0 for the XMT/RCV or within +5/-5 (unsure which is correct) I understand distance, and # of connection come into play in this.

THe outputs I am trying to figure out are:

Optical XMT Power

Optical RCV Power

High Alarm Threshold

High Warn Threshold

Low Warn Threshold

Low Alarm Threshold

Say we are using Cisco-40GB-ER4. I have seen connections with

XMT: 0.0 RX: -0.7 all the way to

XMT: 3.0 RX: -13.00
