About the optical power budget

The maximum allowable attenuation for a system using a medium distance Fiber Module
is 9.3 dB. The connectors, splices, and fiber cable all contribute to the attenuation of a
system. You can use the following formula to determine the length of cable you can use.
Maximum cable length (km) =
For example, a fiber optic trunk segment could have the following attenuation
characteristics:
•
A cable with an attenuation of 1 dB/km @ 1300 nm.
•
Two cable connectors with an attenuation of 0.5 dB each.
•
A splice with an attenuation of 0.3 dB.
•
Repeater/Fiber hubs with maximum attenuation of 9.3 dB
Maximum cable length = (9.3 dB)
For this example, the maximum cable length is 8 km.

Installation declaration

ATTENTION
This equipment shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the
National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC), C22.1. It is supplied as "open equipment" that is intended to be
