Short link with all component losses given
Fiber Link Loss Budget
Calculates total optical link loss by summing fibre attenuation, connector losses, and splice losses, then compares the result with the system loss budget. This deterministic structured-cabling check reports component losses, total link loss, and remaining power margin.
