Assignment #2: Fiber Transport Design
Due: 10/07/2019
Background
One 10 gigabit Ethernet connection is required between Site A and Site D and another 10 gigabit
Ethernet connection is required between Site A and Site E (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Site Topology
Site A is connected to Site B by a fiber bundle with 2 unused pairs of fiber.
Site B is connected to Site C by a fiber bundle with 2 unused pairs of fiber, but the fiber is owned by a 3rd
party and must be leased for a cost:
Dark Fiber Leasing
Up Front One-Time Cost
Annual Maintenance
$500 per km per pair
$100 per km per pair per year
Site C connects to both Sites D and E with fiber bundles with a single unused pair to between each site.
The distance between Sites C and D and Sites C and E are determined by the following equations, where
X and Y are the first and second digits of your UTCID (abcXYZ):
Dcd = (X/2 + 10) km
Dce = (Y/3 + 25) km

Fiber losses are given in the table below.
Fiber Losses

Fiber @ 1500-1600nm
Connector (one per SFP or amplifier)
Splice (assume one splice every 5 km)
Loss
0.5 dB/km
0.2 dB/km
0.5 dB
0.2 dB
Requirements
You are to design the least cost solution assuming a design lifetime of 5 years. You will select the
appropriate SFPs for the routers at Sites A, D, and E. Also, at each intermediate location (Sites B, C, and
D) the fibers must be spliced together or an amplifier installed, depending on the losses incurred in the
fiber.
Amplifiers will add 20 dB of power to the input signal, but also introduce some noise. For the purposes
of this assignment you may ignore the noise. Amplifiers can increase the power in both directions.
Finally, you have sufficient pairs of fibers to make the connections, but to avoiding having to lease two
pairs of fibers between Sites B and C, you may opt to install a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) system at the endpoints to send both 10 gigabit Ethernet connections over the same pair of
fibers, just using different wavelengths of light.
DWDM systems use prisms to combine different wavelengths together on a single fiber. The particular
model available for use in this assignment can combine four different wavelengths together. Passive
DWDM systems, like the one available to you, require special SFPs in the connected devices that send
narrow band light at a specific wavelength. These narrow band SFPs are more expensive than generic
wide band SFPs.

Deliverables
Two files must be submitted via Canvas by the deadline:
(1) A brief, one-page write-up describing your design solution and why you made the choices you
did (DWDM vs lease more fiber, amplifiers vs splice through).
(2) Completion of the Assignment 2 Solution Excel spreadsheet. Fill in the yellow shaded cells.
You may add equations to the spreadsheet to complete some of the cells for you.
