Calculating the J-EX8200 Switch Fiber-Optic Cable Power Margin
Calculate the link's power margin when planning fiber-optic cable layout and distances
to ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient signal power to overcome system
losses and still satisfy the minimum input requirements of the receiver for the required
performance level. The power margin (
P
M
) is the amount of power available after
attenuation or link loss (
LL
) has been subtracted from the power budget (
P
B
).
When you calculate the power margin, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin
of error, even though all the parts of an actual system do not operate at worst-case
levels. A power margin (
P
M
) greater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient
to operate the receiver and that it does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.
This means the link will work. A (
P
M
) that is zero or negative indicates insufficient power
to operate the receiver. See the specification for your receiver to find the maximum
receiver input power.
Before you begin to calculate the power margin:
• Calculate the power budget. See “Calculating the J-EX8200 Switch Fiber-Optic Cable
Power Budget” on page 91.
To calculate the worst-case estimate for the power margin (
P
M
) for the link:
1.
Determine the maximum value for link loss (
LL
) by adding estimated values for
applicable link-loss factors—for example, use the sample values for various factors
as provided in Table 43 on page 92 (here, the link is 2 km long and multimode, and
the (
P
B
) is 13 dBm):
