(8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 3.5 dB). The power
margin (P
M
) is calculated as follows:
P
M
= P
B
– LL
P
M
= 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7 (0.5 dB)
P
M
= 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
P
M
= 5.5 dB
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.
