3 Dark Fiber Effective alternative if fiber plant capacity is not limited or there is no need for bandwidth multiplication Modest distance (80 Km or less) No other traffic a side from router traffic 5 Dark Fiber Considerations when deploying IP infrastructures over dark fiber Fiber plant capacity and topology Power budgets optics reach Signal loss (due to attenuation and dispersion) optics reach Network design must address protection 6

4 Fiber Fundamentals Attenuation Dispersion Nonlinearity Distortion It May Be a Digital Signal, but its Analog Transmission Transmitted Data Waveform Waveform after 1000 km 7 Analog Transmission Effects Attenuation: Reduces Power Level with Distance Dispersion and Nonlinearities: Erodes Clarity with Distance and Speed Signal Detection and Recovery Is an Analog Problem 8

5 Effects of Jitter and Noise Jitter Closes the Signal Horizontally Signal Amplitude Error if Signal Is in This Area Noise Closes the Signal Vertically Time 9 Optical Attenuation Specified in loss per kilometer (db/km) nm nm Loss due to absorption by impurities 1400 nm peak due to hydroxyl (OH) ion absorption 1310 Window 1550 Window 10
