Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding (layers of lower refractive index material in close contact with a core material of higher refractive index), higher-order mode loss occurs.

    TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device. To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks: How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit.

  • Page 63: How To Calculate Power Margin For Fiber-Optic Cables

    How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (P ), which represents the amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (P ).
