• Multimode Network Type: 850, 1300 or 850/1300 nm
Trace Length The Trace Length parameter determines the distance range of the full (unzoomed)
trace. It also determines the distance between data points in the trace: the longer the
Trace Length, the wider the data point spacing. Range should be at least 20% longer
than network length including launch and receive cables.
