longer distances, about 20Km with the single-mode SC.
The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber apply to single-mode fiber connectors.
Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2.2 above.
3.2.5 Power Budget Calculations for P62-Series Fiber Media
Receiver Sensitivity and Transmitter Power are the parameters necessary to compute
the power budget. To calculate the power budget of different fiber media installations using
Magnum products, the following equations should be used:
OPB (Optical Power Budget) = P
T
(min) - P
R
(min)
where P
T
= Transmitter Output Power, and P
R
= Receiver Sensitivity
Worst case OPB = OPB - 1dB(for LED aging) - 1dB(for insertion loss)
Worst case distance = {Worst case OPB, in dB} / [Cable Loss, in dB/Km]
where the “Cable Loss” for 62.5/125 and 50/125µm (m.m.) is 2.8 dB/km,
and the “Cable Loss” for 100/140 (Multi-mode) is 3.3 dB/km,
and the “Cable Loss” for 9/125 (Single-mode) is 0.5 dB/km
The following data has been collected from component manufacturer’s (HP’s and Siemens’) web
sites and catalogs to provide guidance to network designers and installers.

* Note: The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed over long
distances (i.e., over approx. 400 meters) can be achieved only if the following factors are
both applied:
• The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, and
• The worst-case OPB of the fiber link must be greater than the fiber cable’s passive
Attenuation.
(Attenuation = Cable loss + LED aging loss + Insertion loss + safety factor)
