Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Optical Insertion Losses
Optical Insertion Loss estimation:
• Example 5 of Return-path link (Loss) calculation that considers
the Origin and two intermediate, OADM (client Drop, Add and
Pass-Thru) stages – assumes one λ per Drop point.
• Calculates typical and maximum Return-path Losses from furthest
(2nd) OADM (client Add/Drop-point) to Origin.
