How To Perform an Optical Loss Budget

Light Brigade Part No.: TLB-W-8LG

  • $ 153.08 or



When designing a fiber optic system, one of the most important design elements to know is the Optical Loss Budget. This is a detailed calculation of the optical power available at the output of the transmitting source, the optical power required at the receiver's detector and dissipation or attenuation of optical power in the optical path between transmitter and receiver. In essence, the optical loss budget is a statement of how the available optical power will be used. In How to Perform an Optical Loss Budget, you'll learn to do optical loss budgets for Local Area Networks (LAN) per the TIA/EIA-568A/B standard, Wide Area Networks WAN) in telecommunications and CATV networks using singlemode fiber. In addition, "not to exceed" loss budgets for contractors are demonstrated.
