The 300-pin-MSA for OC768 has a SR spec of TX 0..+3dBm, RX min -5dBm. 
Dispersion is max 40ps/nm.

Incorrect. There are transponders that put a 40G signal in a 10G DWDM
optical system. (You have to move a step up from morse code to make the 
side-bands fit..) And they atleast run in 80 chanel systems.
