Optical Attenuation evaluator uses Attenuation Per Unit Length = 10/(Length Of Cable-Cut Length)*log10(Photoreceiver Voltage At Cut Length/Photoreceiver Voltage At Full Length) to evaluate the Attenuation Per Unit Length, Optical Attenuation per unit length is the rate at which light intensity decreases as it propagates through a medium. This attenuation can occur due to various factors, including absorption, scattering, and other interactions with the medium. Attenuation Per Unit Length is denoted by αdB symbol.
How to evaluate Optical Attenuation using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Optical Attenuation, enter Length Of Cable (L1), Cut Length (L2), Photoreceiver Voltage At Cut Length (V2) & Photoreceiver Voltage At Full Length (V1) and hit the calculate button.
