You are a network engineer who is working on a very busy network and is concerned why the actual throughput is less than the potential bandwidth.

What is the throughput that is being received at the moment as per your calculations, keeping the 3-dB rule in mind?

250 Watts 3-dB Rule: *General rule, a loss of 3 dB between transmitter and receiver indicates the signal has lost half its power. *A loss of 3 dB on a 10-watt signal means the signal arrives at 5 watts. *A loss of 3dB on a 1000-watt signal means the signal arrives at 500 watts. *A 1000-watt signal with a 6dB loss arrives at 250 watts.

Fiber Cleaver

Mr. Chadwick has recently set up a network connection for a client wherein he made a transition between an SMF and an MMF cable using a fusion splicer. Around a week later, the client calls him up and raises a concern about fluctuations in the network. Mr. Chadwick decides to conduct an on-site inspection, and he gets to know that the reason behind the fluctuation is that the transmission has not traversed successfully. Analyze which common fiber problem Mr. Chadwick is referring to in this case.

Fiber Type Mismatch Actually more like "Fiber Core Mismatch". Connecting an SMF cable to an MMF cable will prevent the transmission from traversing the connection successfully, though some of the signal can get through. However, even same-mode cables can be mismatched if the cores have different widths. A cable with 50-micron core, for example, should not be connected to a cable with a 62.5-micron core, even though they're both MMF.
