Abstract: A fiber-optic communication apparatus includes first and second communication devices interconnected by an optical fiber cable. The first communication device converts one of a calibration signal with a predetermined power level and a radio frequency (RF) signal into an optical signal. The second communication device converts the optical signal, which is transmitted through the optical fiber cable, into an electrical signal, detects a power level of the electrical signal associated with the calibration signal, obtains a power attenuation ratio based on the power level detected thereby and the predetermined power level, and adjusts the power level of the electrical signal associated with the RF signal based on the power attenuation ratio.
