The following charts show loss budgets and maximum transmission distances for all units compatible with the 8000 and 8100
Series O.D.A.s. Products not included on the input and/or output charts do not function with these units. Note that some
systems operating at the highest wavelength are compatible with the O.D.A.s’ input but not with their output.
Be sure to refer to the charts on the last page of this document for loss budgets resulting from the
cascading of two or more O.D.A.s together, as these numbers are different than when only a single O.D.A. is in use.
