INTERACTIVE ENGINEERING TOOL

Explore an FTTH rollout.

Estimate optical loss and a preliminary bill of materials. Values are planning assumptions; final design requires a site survey and component datasheets.

Network inputs

Splitter ratio
Calculation assumptions

Fiber: 0.35 dB/km; splitter: 13.5 / 16.8 / 20.5 dB for 1:16 / 1:32 / 1:64; connector and splice allowance: 2 dB; indicative optical budget: 28 dB. BOM uses 32 subscriber connections per distribution enclosure and 100 m average distribution fiber per connection. Feeder distance is multiplied by 1.15 for routing allowance. Confirm design against actual topology, wavelength and equipment specifications.
