18.3.2 Optical Performance for Linear Networks Without OADM Nodes
Table 18-6 shows the optical performance for 32-channel networks using E-LEAF fiber. Span loss values
assume the following:
• OADM nodes have a loss of 16 dB and equal span losses.
• The DCU is 550 ps with 4 dB loss.
• All nodes have OPT-PRE and OPT-BST/OPT-BST-E amplifiers installed.
• The OPT-PRE amplifier switches to control power whenever the span loss is higher than 27 dB.
See Table 18-2 for a list of cards in each class. A dash (—) indicates the spans that are not supported.
18.3.2 Optical Performance for Linear Networks Without OADM Nodes
The following tables list the reference optical performances for linear networks without OADM nodes.
Table 18-7 shows the optical performance for 32-channel linear networks using SMF fiber. Span loss
values assume the following:
• No OADM nodes are installed and span losses are equal.
• The DCU loss is 9 dB.
• Only OPT-PRE amplifiers are installed.
See Table 18-2 for a list of cards in each class. A dash (—) indicates the spans that are not supported.
