Under worst condition :L=(Ps-Pr)/a

Ps :Launched optical power (with single channel) at transmitter side Pr :Receiving optical power (with single channel) at receiver side .a :Attenuation coefficient . it is recommended as 0.275dB/km (for G.652) from ITU-T when taking optical splicing and redundancy into consideration ,

DispersionDispersion

Dispersion limited distance=

(Dispersion tolerance/dispersion coefficient)- (10～ 30)

(Normally , Redundancy is considered as 10~30 km

)

Dispersion tolerance ： it depends on the spectrum perfo

rmance of light source .

Dispersion performance with STM-16 level Dispersion performance with STM-16 level

Dispersion tolerance of light source is 7200ps/nm ,

12800ps/nm etc,.

Dispersion coefficient is about 17ps/nm.km in G.652

fiber (20ps/nm is used in project when redundancy is

considered),

Typically ,dispersion coefficient is about 1~6ps/nm.km

in G.655 fiber .

Dispersion performance with STM-64 level Dispersion performance with STM-64 level

Dispersion tolerance of light source is 700ps/nm , 1200p

s/nm etc,.

Dispersion coefficient is the same as above .

Max. transmission distance without compensation :

In G.652 L=700/17-(10～ 30)

3.1 FEC coding

3.2 RZ coding3.2 RZ coding

FEC TechnologyFEC Technology

FEC（ Forward Error correction） At transmitter end, some additional overheads bits or by

tes are inserted into the transmitting data, at receiver en

d, wrong data (error) will be corrected through addition

al bits or bytes.

With FEC function, It can improve BER performance wit

hout increasing OSNR requirement.

FEC TechnologyFEC Technology

•Digital encapsulation

•RS Coding （ 255 ， 239 ）

FEC is used to correct code, it doesn’t increase optical power or improve OSNR, but data error ratio is reduced under the same condition. In case of BER<10-12

Without FEC :OSNR is required to be more than 20dB

With FEC, OSNR is required to be more than 16dB

In practical application, when FEC function is available, it means long distance transmission with multiple sections can be achieved.
