Optical Loss Budget Planning

Overview
The data in this document assumes the use of single mode fiber cable. The document provides guidelines and loop planning data to be used when installing AIremote or any of the Applied Innovation products that are equipped for optical Ethernet data transmission for the Ethernet WAN backhaul.

Loop Planning
For successful optical Ethernet data transmission, certain parameters and limitations must be understood. The optical loop to be used between an AIremote collection location and the AIremote must meet the following criteria:

Transmitter:
Minimum Launch Power -5dBm (lowest tested launch level in AI products) Maximum Launch Power +3dBm (highest tested launch level in AI products)

Receiver:
Minimum Receive Level -30dBm (BER of 2.5E-10) (lowest received signal level for error free operation) Maximum Receive Level -16dBm (highest signal level without risk of errors and detector failure) Recommended Receive Level -16dBm to -21dBm

Attenuation:
Attenuation should be placed on the receive signal as close to the optical receiver as possible. Placement of the attenuator on the receiver end of the fiber jumper is acceptable if local rules and processes allow. A minimum optical launch power of -5dBm and a minimum receive level of -30dBm provides a -25dBm power budget. If the fiber cable and connection averages 0.5db per km of loss, the interface could theoretically communicate at a distance of up to 50km.
