Fiber & Telecom Calculators
10 free fiber & telecom calculators in Networking. The first 2 have a full write-up: the method, a worked example and questions specific to that calculator.
- Fiber Loss BudgetCalculate total optical fiber loss budget from distance, splices and connectors.
- OTDR DistanceCalculate fiber fault distance from OTDR trace timing and the fiber's refractive index.
- Antenna GainCalculate antenna gain in dBi from aperture size, frequency and efficiency.
- Cable LengthCalculate maximum cable run length for a given medium and signal loss tolerance.
- dBm to WattConvert optical or RF power between dBm and watts (or milliwatts).
- Microwave LinkCalculate microwave point-to-point link feasibility from frequency, distance and antenna specs.
- Optical BudgetCalculate the available optical power budget between transmitter and receiver.
- Optical PowerCalculate received optical power at a fiber receiver given transmit power and losses.
- RF Link BudgetCalculate the complete radio frequency link budget including all gains and losses.
- Tower CoverageEstimate cell tower coverage radius from antenna height, power and terrain factors.
