The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (P
uses the estimated values from
fiber attenuation (8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or
3.5 dB). The power margin (P

In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.
