How far can a video optical multiplexer transmit, and how is the link distance calculated in engineering practice?

The transmission distance of the IDM-Video16 video optical multiplexer depends on the transmit optical power of the optical port, the receiver sensitivity, the optical fiber attenuation coefficient and the connector loss. In engineering practice it is calculated as an optical power budget: the available distance is approximately equal to the transmit optical power minus the receiver sensitivity, and the optical power margin obtained after deducting the splice points, mating connectors and aging margin is then divided by the attenuation per kilometer. The optical port type, wavelength, transmit optical power, receiver sensitivity and transmission distance specifications of the IDM-Video16 video optical multiplexer are not yet recorded in the knowledge base, so the manufacturer's technical documentation shall prevail. When the site distance exceeds the budget of a single segment, an optical repeater can be used or a link solution with lower attenuation can be adopted; the specific configuration is recommended to be confirmed with the manufacturer according to the actual optical fiber conditions.
