Cable Assemblies
To calculate expected insertion loss (ILMAX) values for cable assembly lengths not in table:
For Length in Feet
For Length in Meters
@ 660 nm: ILMAX = Connector (0.0037 x Length in feet)
@ 660 nm: ILMAX = Connector (0.012 x Length in meters)
@ 850 nm: ILMAX = Connector (0.0024 x Length in feet)
@ 850 nm: ILMAX = Connector (0.008 x Length in meters)
