Maximum distance for SimpliFiber Pro
A common question which will depend on your link. Here are some examples.
멀티모드
The output of the SimpliFiber Pro Source at 850 nm or 1300 nm is -20 dBm.
The dynamic range of SimpliFiber pro is -52 dBm @ 850 nm.
Assuming 62.5/125 µm cable is being tested, the two devices used together could in theory measure up to 32 dB loss.

Assuming 62.5/125 µm cable is being tested, the two devices used together could in theory measure up to 32 dB loss.
Example link 1:
- Splice every 2 km (0.3 dB per splice)
- Connector at each end (0.75 dB per mated connector)
- Fiber loss = 3.5 dB/km @ 850 nm
- Would measure up to 8.37 km
Example link 2:
- Splice every 2 km (0.1 dB per splice)
- Connector at each end (0.5 dB per mated connector)
- Fiber loss = 3.0 dB/km @ 850 nm
- Would measure up to 10.168 km
If you are testing 50/125 µm cable, there can be a coupling loss of up to 4 dB between your smaller 50/125 µm and the source in the SimpliFiber Pro. Therefore, the two devices (power meter and source) would be able to measure up to 28 dB. In this case, Example 1 above would measure up to 7.313 km and Example 2 would measure up to 8.868 km
싱글모드
The output of the SimpliFiber Pro Source at 1310 nm or 1550 nm is -7 dBm.
The dynamic range of SimpliFiber Pro is -60 dBm.
The two devices used together could therefore measure up to 53 dB loss.
Example link 1:
- Splice every 2 km (0.3 dB per splice)
- Connector at each end (0.75 dB per mated connector)
- Fiber loss = 1.0 dB/km @ 1300 nm or 1500 nm
- Would measure up to 44.9 km
Example link 2:
- Splice every 2 km (0.1 dB per splice)
- Connector at each end (0.5 dB per mated connector)
- Fiber loss = 0.5 dB/km @ 1300 nm or 1500 nm
- Would measure up to 94.590 km
