For CAUI-4 C2C the COM pass threshold is 2dB. 

From my understanding, this threshold is part of a budget allowance for 
receiver implementation. Receiver noise and jitter are not explicitly accounted 
for in the COM algorithm...

Thank you,

Not always 3dB. For CA-25G-N cable assemblies the minimum COM is relaxed to
2.2 dB.

Does anyone know why the limit for COM in 25G ethernet spec is 3dB? 
Does this have anything to do with the shannon-hartley theorem? I 
would imagine but after putting in the numbers, I don't see a directly 1:1 
relationship.
My brain has had bad gas today.
