Power Budget Calculations for Quad-Series QPM's with Fiber
Media
Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to
compute the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media
installations using Magnum products, the following equations should be used:
OPB (Optical Power Budget) = P
where P
Worst case OPB
Wors
t case distance = {Worst case OPB, in dB} / [Cable Loss, in dB/Km]
where the "Cable Loss" for 62.5/125 and 50/125
and the "Cable Loss" for 100/140 (Multi-mode) is 3.3 dB/km,
and the "Cable Loss" for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.5 dB/km
The following data has been collected from component manufacturer's (Agilent's and
Siemens') web sites and catalogs to provide guidance to network designers and installers.

Note:
The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate a
over long distances (i.e., in excess of approx. 400 meters) can be achieved
if the following factors are both applied:
•
The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, i.e. the
full-duplex (factory default) setting for 100Mbps fiber ports must be used,
