We report on numerical investigation of the impact of polarization dependent loss generated by the wavelength selective switches as well as the amplifiers in a point to multi-point subsea- systems. We show that penalties due to R-OADM do not exceed 0.5dB when WSS PDL’s is below 0.33dB for 15 in-line WSS.
