Answer 1

Answer #1

25 km optical length

0.27db/km attenuation coefficient

Optical losse a fiber are usually expressed in decibels per kilometer (dB/km). The equation is called the fiber’s attenuation coefficient α .

total attenuation loss is a Loss = 3.01 dB

Exercise 3: A fault occurs in an optical link that has a total length of 205 km. The graph of an OTDR shows that the fault is located 175 km from the input of the fiber. It also shows the presence of a 20 dB amplifier at a distance of 100 km from the input of the fiber. This amplifier is connected to the line by connectors of attenuation 1 dB. A connector of the same type is used to...
