dBm and dB are related but distinct units used to measure power in fiber optics. dBm refers to absolute power measured in milliwatts on a logarithmic scale, and is used to specify properties like laser output power and receiver sensitivity. dB refers to the ratio of input to output power and is used to measure losses in passive systems. To determine loss in dB, the input power in dBm is subtracted from the output power in dBm. While dBm is used for measurements, dB is used for loss calculations and specifying loss budgets. Technicians should use dBm for troubleshooting networks and dB for testing passive links.

participate in the Chapter Standards of Excellence program and process each academic year.
It is the chapter’s responsibility to ensure that the Standards of Excellence packet is completed in its
entirety and meets all guidelines set forth. Failure to complete the awards packet in its entirety
may result in a score of “0” or cause an organization to be ineligible for recognition, respectively.
To assist each chapter in the understanding of the Standards of Excellence document, each chapter
will be partnered with a Greek Life graduate assistant to assist while you complete the document.
Each chapter President or attending member will be required to sign an Expectations Contract,
stating that they have received the awards packet, and reviewed the program timeline.
TIMELINE
Each chapter is required to submit ONE FINAL packet. The one packet is due in electronic form
Wednesday, March 5, 2014 by 5:00PM via OrgSync. NO LATE STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE
PACKETS WILL BE ACCEPTED. In order to properly evaluate the chapter’s operations, no packet may
exceed 80 pages, including all supporting documents. To ensure a timely evaluation, each
numbered question is limited to a 500 word maximum unless otherwise stated.
The Chapter Standards of Excellence will cover chapter performance over one (1) year. Only events
