[c-nsp] SX GBICs - too close?

[Deepak Jain]

Can someone point me to a quick reference about distances that might be 
_too close_ for SX transceivers? (say 6" or 12") I have a few GBICs 
ports that take 5-10 minutes to "recognize" the other end, and if I do a 
"clear int" on one of the interfaces it goes away for between 5 minutes 
and an hour or two. It can only be bad hardware or a bad installer. :)

Saturating the receiver is what I am hoping for because I'd rather blame 
the latter. heh

Thanks in advance,

DJ
