Typical Fiber Attenuation Figure

Some times ago, I've been asked about this! I know that for an installed system, this shall be measured! If I can't do that but people still demand me to answer, what kind of attenuation/loss figures would you suggest me ?? Say that the system uses 1500 nm window and ITU-T G.652 fibers.



Theoretically I would come to something like this:
  • 0.2 dB/km
  • 0.15 dB/connector
  • 0.025 dB/splice (fusion)
whether such a figure can practically be achieved ?? please advise!

If I use ITU-T G.654 fiber, these figures shall be smaller, right ??
