All values are for both controlled and uncontrolled
environmental conditions.
∗
Transmit and receive powers are referenced to points S and R
as shown in Figure 10-2.
†
Optical path penalty includes effects of dispersion, reflection
and jitter that occur on the optical path.
‡
One connector (0.75 dB) on each end is assumed to connect
station cable to outside plant.
§
The 26-type OLIUs are dispersion limited at 44 km, due to the
wider wavelength range. Assuming fiber with zero dispersion
wavelength between 1300 and 1320 nm, the worst case
dispersion over the transmitter wavelength range of 1272 to
1350 nm is 4.88 psec/nm km. This implies a 44 km span would
have a total dispersion of about 215 psec/nm.
