Viewing the optical module s receive and transmit power in Linux

fiberstat is a small C program that allows monitoring TX/RX power levels in optic fiber network links. Optical transceivers can be used on switches, routers and network adapters (fiber network cards). See man ethtool (8) for details. It supports both single-mode and multi-mode fiber cables and is capable of operating across a wide range of data. The ethto...
