Formula:

Total link Loss (dB) (L x i) + (n x S) + (m x C)

Dimana:
L = optical length (KM)
i = attenuation index
n = jumlah total splice dlm link tsb
S = splice loss
m = jumlah total connector
C = connector loss

Perhitungan u/ section Serang Grha XL:

L = 116 Km optical length
i = 0.25 dB/Km at 1550 nm
n = 50 total splice
S = 0.1 dB/Km
m=2
C = 0.5 dB/Km
Total link Loss = (116x0.25) + (50x0.1) + (2x0.5) = 35 dB
