Link Engineering for greater than 30 km operation
Caution:
Operating ranges that are greater than 30 km for the same link power budget are considered
engineered links. If your operating range is greater than 30 km, you require engineering skills to
determine correct device and cable plant specifications, and installation practices. Avaya
recommends that you consider the potential impact of operating with near zero assured margin.
The following list provides the requirements for achieving operation to 40 km:
• Ensure fiber insertion loss, in dB/km, is less than (18.5 – connector loss, dB)/length.
• Observe strict limits on number and insertion loss of connectors.
• Note that operation to 40 km can possibly eliminate power margin allocated to aging, additional
connectors, or cable repairs. This increases risk of additional remediation effort in the event of
