These higher loss numbers are one reason multimode fiber is limited to shorter distances, typically a few hundred meters at most for high-speed connections. This document describes how to calculate the maximum attenuation for an optical fiber. For some conditions, the output spectrum of an EDFA/OA would be distorted this has to be analyzed for various. ITU-T and IEC have implemented multiple changes to their respective documents regarding Single Mode Fiber (SMF) since the last IEEE document was published. aThe fiber dispersion values are normative, all other values in the table are informative. It's measured in decibels per kilometer (dB/km), and it determines how far a signal can travel before it becomes too weak to read.
