Termination Calibration using the Measurement
Patchcord
Use this procedure to calibrate the Return Loss module against a
terminated patchcord, that is when there are no reflections returning from
its end.
1 Making sure all the connectors are clean, set up the instrument as shown in
Figure 104 if you are using an External Source,
Figure 104 Measuring the Termination Parameter - External Source
or Figure 105 if you are using an internal source
(Agilent 81611A/2A/3A/4A Return Loss modules only).

2 Terminate the measurement patchcord so that there are no reflections coming
from the end.
Tip: You can do this by wrapping the fiber five times around the shaft of a
screwdriver (or some similar object with a diameter of between 5mm and
7mm).
