    How to calculate the test results for a splitter link

    The formula for the theoretical loss for each output port of a splitter with N output ports is: Theoretical Split Loss (in dB) = 10 * log10 (N) Where: N is the number of output ports the splitter has (e., 2 for a 1x2 splitter, 4 for a 1x4, 8 for a 1x8, 32 for a 1x32, etc. Instantly compute insertion loss, power at each subscriber port, and fade margin for PLC and FBT splitters — including dual cascade configurations. Covers GPON (1490 nm / 1310 nm), EPON, and RF video overlay (1550 nm). Also useful as an optical power budget calculator, FTTH link budget tool, and. Enter excess loss from the splitter datasheet for your wavelength. Add connector and splice quantities with realistic planning losses. It targets network engineers.

Each OTDR model may have unique features, but the basic principles remain the same. It can verify splice loss, measure length and find faults. The OTDR. Insertion loss (IL): The loss of signal power expressed in decibels (dB) that results from the presence of an event on a fiber link, such as a splice or a connector. It represents a ratio of the power that comes out of the link over the power that goes in.
