Hello,
I have a customer who will be replacing some of their multi-mode
fiber links with single-mode fiber links to eliminate concentrators
installed as repeaters because of distance limitations. The shortest SM
fiber link will be approximately 3300 meters. I understand that there is
some sort of minimum loss required on single-mode because of the
transmit power on the lasers? If true, what is the minimum loss
required and can someone point me to a document which covers all of the
various fiber requirements (i.e., Modal Bandwidth, power budgets,
etc...)?
Thanks,
Laurie Richards

I found the answer to my first question about minimum loss requirements
on single-mode links in note 494.4, but I'm still very interested
in a good document or book on fiber. Something that would explain
terms such as modal and chromatic dispersion and provide bandwidth,
and loss requirements for FDDI. Your suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!
Laurie

Sometime soon, Addison-Wesley should be publishing a book by Raj Jain that will answer this question and many more... paul | |||||

All the fiber parameters are documented in the Configuration
Guidelines, EK-DFDDI-CG. Softcopy is available at the following
directory:
