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 WAN/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.
