24
Q

Decibles (dB)

A

A logarithmic scale

  • 3 dB = 2x the signal
  • 10 dB = 10x the signal
  • 20 dB = 100x the signal
  • 30 dB = 1000x the signal
25
Q

Calculating dB Loss

A

(through 1km of fiber)

Add loss through each section
     * 1 km fiber = 3.5 dB
     * Patch panel at each end = .5 dB
             (x2 patch panels) = 1 dB
 Total link loss = 4.5 dB
