This example assumes five connectors. Loss for five
connectors: 5 (0.5 dBm) = 2.5 dBm.
This example assumes two 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 dBm/km) = 2 dBm.
This example assumes the link is 2 km long. Fiber
attenuation for 2 km: 2 km (0.5 dBm/km) = 1 dBm.
