(1) The channel, that is, connectors and cable, must not exceed the allowable power budget.
IMPORTANT Allow at least 5.08 cm (2 in.) for the fiber cable bend radius. Contact
the cable manufacturer for more information on the recommended cable
bend radius.

Attribute Value
EXAMPLE In the example shown here, the channel insertion loss is calculated for an optical channel based on these factors:
• 1 dB/km fiber
• 0.75 dB per adapter
Note that in this example, the end connectors are not factored in the calculations .
ATTENTION: The maximum power budget for this example is 12.8 dB for 62.5/125
m fiber. Therefore, the channel
insertion loss for the example of 3.5 dB is less than the maximum power budget.
Fiber 1 dB/km Fiber 1 dB/km Fiber 1 dB/km
