IS-3 Line Loss Budgets 10
The FT-2000 OC-48 Lightwave System is designed to meet the IS-3 loss budget
specifications shown in Table 10-14. The transmit and receive powers are
referenced to points S and R in Figure 10-1.
* Transmit and receive powers are referenced to points S and R as shown in Figure 10-1.
†The minimum system gain allows for account aging, temperature, and manufacturing tolerances (these figures
are built into the minimum transmitter power).
‡ Optical path penalty includes the 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.
¶ Unallocated margin, or safety margin, is usually used for fiber repairs. This can be used to increase the loss
budget if needed.
** The budget is available for both station and transmission cable and splices.
