Abstract

A method for determining a power back-off value for an Ethernet channel is disclosed. The method includes measuring a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for each of the channels with a receiver corresponding to each channel. A transmit power level for a link partner transmitter is determined, where the transmit power level represents a minimum power level at the link partner transmitter that results in the measured SNR value at the receiver satisfying a predetermined SNR threshold. The transmit power level is communicated to the link partner transmitter and Ethernet data is then transceived between the link partners based on the determined transmit power level.
