Fiber
Optic Network Design And Management
Lesson Plan No. 4: Reviewing The
Design, Loss Budgets
Objectives:
From this self-study lesson you should learn:
- Using
loss budgets to ensure the communications systems will
work over the fiber optic proposed cable plant
- Determining
what the loss of the link should be to compare to test
results after the cable plant is installed.
Once the cable plant components are chosen, the next step
is to ensure the choices are correct and the link will
work as designed. The most important step is calculating a
loss budget for the link to ensure the communications
equipment will operate over the link. This will also
provide loss values that can be used for comparison to
test results after installation to confirm proper
installation.
