OSP Engineering Calculators, Built by Engineers Who Use Them
No signup, no email gate. The same first-pass checks our engineers run before a design review —
free for the fiber and utility community. Results are engineering estimates; the stamped work is
what we do for a living.
FTTH / PON Design
PON Power Budget Calculator
Check a GPON or XGS-PON link against ITU-T class budgets: splitter ratio, fiber length,
connectors and splices, design margin — with a pass/fail verdict, receiver-overload check,
and maximum reach. Shareable result links for design reviews.
NESC Rule 250B screening for a proposed fiber attachment: district wind and ice loads versus
wood pole capacity by class and species. A first-pass utilization estimate before you order
the stamped pole loading analysis.
These tools produce screening-level engineering estimates and are not a substitute for
a stamped analysis or a construction-ready design. When a project needs the real thing, that's our
day job: pole loading analysis ($45–$75 per pole),
FTTH design, and
fiber network design from an in-house team of 600+
engineers. Active in 22 states. Available across all 50 U.S. states. Questions or a tool you'd like
to see next? info@draftech.com
