When to Use This Tool
Remote Sports Broadcasting
Calculating the optical loss across 15+ kilometers of dark fiber leased from a telco provider to ensure your ST 2110 IP video trunks reach the remote production gallery.
Stadium / Campus Tielines
Designing the fiber infrastructure between a remote broadcast compound and the stadium patch room, accounting for multiple LC connector mating pairs in wall boxes.
SFP Specification / Purchasing
Determining whether a standard 10km "LR" (Long Reach) SFP transceiver is sufficient for a specific cable run, or if an expensive 40km "ER" (Extended Reach) module must be purchased.
Avoiding Hardware Damage
Checking if plugging a high-powered BiDi (Bi-directional) CWDM laser into a patching loop inside the same server rack will instantly fry the receiving photodiode.
