Note:
A minimum attenuation of 5 dB must be present
between the transmitter and receiver. To avoid receiver
saturation, you must insert a minimum attenuation of 5
dB when:

To determine the expected signal loss for a CWDM
OADM, CWDM OMUX, or fiber length, see Installation
and Networking Guidelines for Optical Routing, part

Given a loss budget of 24 dB and assuming fiber loss of
.25 dB/km, up to 96 km reach is supported with no
intermediate CWDM OADM or CWDM OMUX.
