MDS DS-SFP-FC8 GLW 9 Micron between 2 9148 switches Max DB loss?

Question

                   Does anyone know where to find a table that would indciate what the max acceptable DB loss would be between two 9148 switches utilizing
                   DS-SFP-FC8 GLW over 9 Micron cable.
It seems the SFP product data sheets do not provide this type of data.
I currently have two 9148 switches running at 8Gbps
TE link 1 is up and running at 8Gbps with 32 bb credits assigned to the port.
TE link 2 will not stay online at any speed 2-8Gbps with 32 to 64 credits assigned. I'm fairly certain this is a DB loss problem becuase the problem follows the cable path.
What I'm trying to resolve is how to determine what the max DB loss is over the link.
I understand the max distance for Dark fiber is as follows: 1310nm  SMF 9.0 8.Gbps 10 km (6.2 mi)
So when I talk to folks that analyze the cables I can be eductaed on what the max DB loss is.
1310 SMF9.0 8.500 10 km (6.2 mi)
DB loss is as follows for TE link 1

Answer 1

I believe you run 'show interface fc x/y transceiver detail', it will provide the current light levels as well as the minimum and maximum limits.
Thank You,
