9.6 Optical budget calculation for PMU - PDC
communication
GUID-F5DEACB1-4B83-4C68-B59A-694CAC78AF3D v3
Most of the times, the PMU IEDs are located in the substations. A local PDC might
be located in the substation. For communications within the substation or between
the IED and the W
AN/LAN access point, it is important to know what is the optical
budget available. The graph in Figure 18 shows the dynamic range available for a
PMU – PDC configuration using typical OEMs.

Figure 18: Optical power budget for fiber optic cable lengths
As shown in the graph, if one uses a 62.5/125 µm fiber, the value under the
62.5/125 µm curve represents the remaining optical budget at any link length,
which is available for overcoming non-fiber cable related losses.
Losses in the connectors and splices are typically 0.3dB/connection. The user must
reserve 3dB spare for the uncertainty of the measurements.
