    "data": {
        "note": "The optical power budget = transmit power − receiver sensitivity (both in dBm), the total loss the link can tolerate. A 0 dBm transmitter into a −23 dBm receiver gives a 23 dB budget. Everything between — fibre attenuation, connectors, splices — must fit inside it, with a margin left over for ageing and repairs. Because dBm is logarithmic, subtracting dBm gives dB of budget directly.",
