The QH type cannot be used with MELSECNET (II).
2.Regarding connection loss by the splice adaptor connection
AS,QH,QL Series
:
maximum 2dB/spot
SG Series
:
maximum 0.5dB/spot
3.Regarding all transmission loss by splice adaptor connection
All transmission loss of between MELSECNET unit are calculated by connection loss of splice adaptor
and add to transmission loss of optical fiber length.

Calculation of transmission loss
〔
Formula
〕
All transmission losses calculation value
〔
d
B〕
=
(α/
1000
)×L+2〔dB〕×
Number of connection for splice adaptor(Max 2 spot)
1)
Transmission loss of optical fiber :
α
[dB/km]
(The value of
α
should be applied transmission loss of using optical fiber)
2)
Length of optical fiber : L[m]
3)
Connection loss of splice adaptor : 2[dB]( AS,QH,QL Series), 0.5[dB](SG Series)
〔
Example
〕
1)
α
=
6
〔dB〕
---In case of AS type [H-PCF]
2)
L =200[m]
3)
Number of connection spot for splice adaptor = 2
All transmission loss is the following.
All transmission loss[d
B
] = (6/1000) x 200 + 2[dB] x 2 pieces = 5.2[dB]
(Remark)
Even if all transmission is less than maximum acceptable transmission loss,
it is impossible to use more than maximum station distance.
