SONET Single-Mode Power Budget Example
The following example of a single-mode power budget is of a two buildings, 11 kilometers apart,
connected through a patch panel in an intervening building with a total of 12 connectors.
Length of single-mode link = 11 km
12 connectors
Estimate the power budget as follows:
PB = 11.5 dB – 11 km (0.5 dB/km) – 12 (0.5 dB)
PB = 11.5 dB – 5.5 dB – 6 dB
PB = 2.5 dB
The value of 2.5 dB indicates that this link would have sufficient power for transmission and is not
in excess of the maximum receiver input power.
Statistical Models for Estimating Power Budget
Statistical models more accurately determine the power budget than the worst case method.
Determining the link loss with statistical methods requires accurate knowledge of variations in the
data link components. Statistical power budget analysis is beyond the scope of this document. For
further information, refer to UNI Forum specifications, ITU-T standards, and your equipment
specifications.

HSSI Connections
The High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) standard (EIA/TIA-612/613) specifies a maximum cable
length of 50 feet (15 meters) for 52 Mbps HSSI connections. The typical (nominal) cable length
between the HIP and the DSU is 6 feet (2 meters). The HSSI interface cable comprises 25 twisted
pairs and a 50-pin plug at each end. Both DTE and DCE ports on the HIP and the DSU are 50-pin
receptacles. The HSSI interface cable is similar to a SCSI-II-type (small computer systems interface)
cable; however, the HSSI cable specification is more stringent than that for a SCSI-II. Substituting
a SCSI-type cable to connect the HSSI interface may prevent proper operation of the interface.
Equipment Racks
The rack-mounting hardware included with the router is suitable for most 19-inch equipment racks
or Telco-type racks. The router chassis mounts to two posts or rails in the rack with two mounting
ears, which attach to the sides of the chassis. Ideally, you should be able to access both the interface
processor and noninterface processor ends of the router without having to remove it from the rack.
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access
to the interface processors or chassis cover panel. As an alternative, the router can be mounted on an
equipment shelf, provided that the rack dimensions allow the router to be secured to the shelf and
the overall configuration permits safe installation and access. Figure 2-1 shows the chassis footprint
and outer dimensions.
