The polish of a single mode fiber endface plays a significant role in reflectance; understand what you need before you design, specify and deploy a data center infrastructure. This article/white paper is to lay out a basic definition for IEEE 802.3 optical return loss parameters. In addition it can be used as a data center design guide. Explore how the parameters should be used during designing and deploying optical networks.
