2. Introduction
2.1 Description
The T1 Fiber Optic Line Extender/Simulator lets you combine fiber optic
technology with standard interfaces at 1.544 Mbps. The advantages are increased
transmission distances and immunity to electrical interference. Connections
between buildings become possible since no lightning currents can arise.
2.2 Features
• Extend or interconnect T1 lines, PBXs, or T1 muxes across distances up to
3 miles (4.8 km) via a pair of these devices.
• For line simulation, the device is transparent to equipment, framing, and
encoding—PBXs and multiplexors act like they’re directly connected to a T1
circuit.
• EMI/RFI and lightning-hazard immunity is provided by the fiber link.

Appendix: Fiber Optic Planning
Guidelines
A.1 Introduction
Designing a fiber optic link means considering two main physical limitations:
System attenuation and fiber optic dispersion.
Attenuation results when properties of the fiber optic link reduce the intensity of
the fiber optic signals. Dispersion occurs in high-speed links and causes
degradation of fiber optic signals, disabling the receiver that would interpret them
correctly.
The analysis of the planned fiber optic link is a two-step process. First, you must
calculate the attenuation of the complete system to ensure that the units can cope
with the losses of the link. Then, you must enter the intended distance between the
units into the operation diagram (see Figure A-2). (Make sure the distance is
confirmed by the calculation above.) These calculations are explained in
Section A.2.
When you calculate the maximum range, keep in mind that extremely short
cabling can be problematic, too. Avoid receiver overload conditions for proper
data transmission.
For wavelength/multiplexing (WDM) equipped units, you must perform the
calculations for each wavelength independently (twice total). You must operate the
WDM-equipped counterparts within the restrictions defined by both resulting
operation diagrams.
Please observe that the optical power budget stated in the documentation of a
WDM-equipped unit is valid for the transmitted wavelength only. The optical
power budget for the received wavelength can be found in the documentation of
the counterpart unit.

APPENDIX: Fiber Optic Planning Guidelines
A.2 Fiber Optic Calculation
STEP 1: ATTENUATION CONSIDERATIONS
Figure A-1 shows the various elements of the fiber optic link that decrease light
intensity. Depending on the real installation, you must subtract a series of
attenuation (att.) values from the raw optic output level of the fiber optic
transmitter. The remainder of the originally transmitted light at the receiver must
be at least as high as the minimum receiver sensitivity. Generally, you should
project a link margin of at least 3 dB to allow aging and fiber repairs.
Use the formulas described below to calculate the attenuation values for your
system:
• (optical power budget)=(max. of transmitter output power) - (min. of receiver
operation range) The stated optical power budget does not include irregular
light propagation modes. At short distances, these modes increase the optical
power at the receiver. The increase depends mainly on fiber optic mode and
cable quality. Consider the irregular light propagation modes at multimode
only and add about 3 dB. This amount is included in the stated multimode
transmitter output values.
• (total system att.)=sum of all discrete attenuations (as shown in Figure A-1).
This value is the attenuation of the link due to the link components.
• (cable length)=(cable attenuation)/(cable att. factor). This formula is used to
calculate cable length or resulting attenuation. The cable att. factor is provided
by the cable producer.
Example values for calculations below (See Figure A-1):
Fiber optic power budget of the combination unit [1]/unit [7]=17 dB. Cable att.
factor of cables [2], [4], and [6]=3 dB/km. Cable [4]=1 km. Cable [6]=2 km.
Splice [5] loss 1 dB.
Connector loss at patch panel [3]=2 dB.
Example 1: Maximum length of cable [2]:
(cable [4] att.)= 1 km*3 dB/km=3 dB (cable [6] att.)=2 km*3 dB/km=6 dB.
(right part att.)=(Conn. loss [3]) + (cable [4] att.) + (splice [5] loss) + (cable [6]
att.)
(right part att.)= 2 dB + 3 dB + 1 dB +6 dB=12 dB.

T1 FIBER OPTIC LINE EXTENDER/SIMULATOR
(max, cable [2] att.)=(fiber optic power budge) - (right part att.) = 17 dB - 12 dB =
5 dB.
(max. cable [2] length) = (max.cable [2] att.)/(cable [2] att. factor) =
5 dB/3 dB/km = 5.6 km
Example 2: Maximum length of cable [2] when connected directly (without
splices, etc.): (max. cable [2] length) = (fiber optic power budget)/(cable [2] att.
factor) = 17 dB/3 dB/km = 5.6 km
Example 3: Minimum cable quality to bridge 5 km (single cable without splices or
patches): (cable att. factor) = (cable att.)/(cable length) = 17 dB (fiber optic power
budget)/5 km = 3.4 dB/km

APPENDIX: Fiber Optic Planning Guidelines
STEP 2: OVERALL OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The operation diagram (Figure A-2) shows one example diagram and one blank
diagram to be completed based on real values:
1. Draw horizontal lines at the min. and max. value of the fiber optic pulse
width* of the affected units.
2. Calculate the maximum total distance based on the calculations above and
draw a vertical line.
3. Choose the correct dispersion line** based on fiber optic transmitter type*.
4. Shade the allowed operation range as shown in Figure A-2.
*To be found in the technical data section of the units’ documentation.
**Industry-standard cable quality assumed: 18 ps/(nm*km) @ 1550 nm.
A.3 Operation Diagram
Example: Physical operation restrictions for a unit with 1550-nm standard laser, a
fiber optic pulse width between 10 and 100 ns and a calculated maximum distance
between the units of 60 km.
The operation you choose must be inside the allowed (shaded) area.
NOTE
The right border of the operation area is defined by the dispersion or
distance line, whichever comes first (leftmost). Some units use only one
discrete fiber optic pulse width. In this case, the allowed operation area
collapses to a horizontal line. If there is no dispersion line for the used
fiber optic transmitter type, dispersion can be ignored.
