An estimation of how long a fiber optic cable can be for a given bit rate and dispersion for successful data communications to occur is referred to as:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A power budget in fiber optic communications is an estimation that takes into account the amount of light (power) needed to be transmitted and how much of it will be received, considering the losses in the system due to the cable's length, connectors, and splices. This helps in determining the maximum length a fiber optic cable can be for a given bit rate and dispersion to ensure successful data communications.
