4.1.8 Power Budget Calculations 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
MultiLink products, the following equations should be used:
(EQ 4.1)
where: OPB = optical power budget
P
T
= transmitter output power
P
R
= Receiver Sensitivity
The worst case OPB is as follows:
(EQ 4.2)
The worst-case distance is calculated as follows:
(EQ 4.3)
The cable loss in dB/km is defined in the following table:
The following data has been collected to provide guidance to network designers and
installers.
Table 4–1: Cable losses
Cable size Mode Cable loss
62.5 / 125 μmmulti-mode 2.8 dB/km
50 / 125 μmmulti-mode 2.8 dB/km
100 / 140 μmmulti-mode 3.3 dB/km
9 / 125 μm single-mode 0.5 dB/km
