When I was procrastinating today, I was thinking on how I should plan my ODM (Optical Distribution Network). Doing a cascading style using FBT makes the most sense. Bali split lang with uneven ratio, then extend as needed.
Gusto ko rin ma-maximize yung 128 ONU per PON nung OLT ko.
One thing na hindi ko maintindihan is how to compute yung FBT split value. I tried plotting it out sa Excel, pero the math doesn’t check out.
Ang mali ko pala, I’m treating yung FBT Splitter values as percentages. Kunwari I have 95/5 FBT splitter. I get yung 95% at 5% ng signal source.
It turns out, it’s a simple subtraction lang pala. Each FBT value has it’s own loss. For 95, it’s 0.4 loss. For 5, is 12.4.
Kung ang signal source ko a 7 dBm at gumamit ako ng 95/5 FBT splitter, ang signal strength ay 6.6 dBm for 95, -5.4 dBm for 5.
Now that makes it easier to plan out. I’ll create a calculator sa Excel para masmadali.
