How can I calculate the VCM5020 power consumption?

For a fixed switch: One or two power modules can be installed on a fixed switch. If two power modules are installed, they work in 1+1 redundancy mode. For a modular switch: The number of power modules installed on a modular switch depends on the maximum power actually required by the switch. Ensure that the maximum output power of power modules is larger than the maximum power actually required by the system. For example, the maximum power required by the system is 4000 W. If two 2200 W power modules are installed in the chassis, they work in 2+0 mode. If three 2200 W power modules are installed, they work in 2+1 redundancy mode. If four 2200 W power modules are installed, they work in 2+2 redundancy mode. To query the maximum power required by the system, see Power Consumption Calc.

BER calculation formula: B1 BER = Number of B1 errored blocks/(N x 270 columns x 9 rows x 8 bits x 1s x 8000 frame/second). 　　 Note: N in the preceding formula is the number in STM-N. B2 BER = Number of B2 errored blocks/{[(261columns x 9 rows) + (9 columns x 5 rows)] x 8 bits x 1s x 8000 frame/second}. B3 BER = Number of B3 errored blocks/(261 columns x 9 rows x 8 bits x 1s x 8000 frame/second).

Assume the chip of the AP3010DN-AGN provides a transmit power of 50 mW, and the AP3010DN-AGN has two antennas, each of which can increase the transmit power by 2.5 times. The AP transmit power is 250 mW (50 x 2.5 x 2 = 250 mW), that is 24 dBm, which is calculated based on the formula: 10log (50 x 2.5 x 2) = 17 + 4 + 3 = 24 dBm.
