- With a higher loss, we cannot guarantee that the Unit detects a reflector. A meaningful maximum initial loss value for the operation is 35 dB, because only then can the system raise degradation alarms. The total budget includes the insertion loss of the split-ters and the WDM c
- In standard mode, measurements are much faster than in high resolution mode. Therefore the standard mode is a compromise for faster measurements over more accurate measurements.
- You will need 5 dB margin to accurately detect the sensor alarms.
