Hi everyone, In the discussion for the worst case test configuration there was some discussion about the loss of connector transverse offsets if the 70/70% launch condition (which should represent the so called steady state power distribution) is applied. I calculated the connector loss vers transverse offset for various launch conditions including the 70/70% launch. It turns out that the loss with the 70/70% launch is somewhat larger than the 23µm offset launch. Therefore the total loss of our worst case test configuration would be larger than 1,5dB if such 70/70% launch would be applied. It is common agreement today to use the defined offset patchcord and I do not want to change that but I want to share the results for the sake of completeness because it shows the sensitivity of our selection on the launch conditions.
