How to Evaluate Fiber Attenuation Coefficient?

Fiber Attenuation Coefficient evaluator uses Attenuation Coefficient = Attenuation Loss/4.343 to evaluate the Attenuation Coefficient, The Fiber Attenuation Coefficient formula is a measure of the rate at which an optical signal decreases in power as it propagates through an optical fiber. It represents the amount of signal loss per unit length of the fiber and is typically expressed in decibels per kilometer (dB/km) or decibels per meter (dB/m). Attenuation Coefficient is denoted by αp symbol.
