Plan and implement fiber optic networksEffectively design and deploy bandwidth-rich networks for major types of data traffic. Covering both short-reach and long-haul networks, Planning Fiber Optic Networks provides full details on all major fiber optic parameters and includes appropriate background theory and design calculations. You will find guidelines for optimizing SONET/SDH and Ethernet networks, setting up network topologies, minimizing signal loss and impairments, and using dark fiber. Real-world examples are included throughout this practical guide.Understand signal propagation in a single-mode fiberPlan an optical loss budgetMaintain an acceptable optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR)Learn about the effects of chromatic dispersion (CD) and po...
