This research aims to investigate methods for reducing attenuation in fiber optic networks to enhance service reliability and signal quality.
Adopted a quantitative engineering approach using analytical models and real-time operational data.
Applied exponential attenuation modeling, logarithmic loss analysis, and OTDR-based fault localization.
Developed a standardized framework categorizing network conditions and implemented an attenuation reduction checklist.
Fiber attenuation at 1310 nm reduced power from 4 dBm to approximately -4.75 dBm over 25 km.
Total link loss for a 10 km span reached 4.7 dB, with high split ratios (1:64) reducing power to -25.25 dBm.
Field interventions improved signal levels from -33 dBm to -26 dBm, achieving gains of 5–7 dB and improved network reliability to 99.999%.
