Estimated Link-Loss Value
0.5 dBm
Multimode—1 dBm/km
Single mode—0.5 dBm/km
1 dBm
NOTE: For information about the actual amount of signal loss caused by
equipment and other factors, see your vendor documentation for that
equipment.

(13 dBm) – (0.5 dBm [HOL]) – ((5) * (0.5 dBm)) – ((2) * (0.5 dBm)) – ((2 km) *
(1.0 dBm/km)) – (1 dB [CRM]) = P
13 dBm – 0.5 dBm – 2.5 dBm – 1 dBm – 2 dBm – 1 dBm = P
P = 6 dBm

The calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission. Also, the power margin value does not exceed the maximum
receiver input power. Refer to the specification for your receiver to find the maximum
receiver input power.

Sample (LL) Calculation Values
This example assumes 2 splices. Loss for
two splices:
(2) * (0.5 dBm) = 1 dBm
This example assumes the link is 2 km
long. Fiber attenuation for 2 km:
(2 km) * (1.0 dBm/km) = 2 dBm
(2 km) * (0.5 dBm/km) = 1 dBm
1 dBm
