Description of Event Types
MAX-700 349
Fiber Section
Fiber Section
This symbol denotes a fiber section with no event.
The sum of all fiber sections contained in an entire fiber trace equals
the total fiber length. Detected events are distinct even if they cover
more than one point on the trace.
A loss value is specified for fiber section events. No reflectance is
specified for this type of event.
The attenuation (dB/distance in kilometers) is obtained by dividing the
loss by the fiber section length.
