the event table.
Event Types
Reflective Event
Reflection from a splice point, such as a Fresnel reflection
caused by a mechanical splice or connector.
Non-Reflective Event
Non-reflective events include such low loss events as fusion
splices and Macro Bends.
Grouped Event
Events spaced too close to each other for Analysis to
distinguish them as separate events are reported as
Grouped events.
Far End Event
Any event with a loss equal to or greater than the Fiber
End threshold is reported as the Far End event.
Questionable Event
The last event is set to Questionable End in following case:
• When the fiber length is longer than Distance Range
• When Far End event is not found
Splitter Event
All events other than far end events with losses greater
than the far end threshold are displayed as Splitter events.
Launch Event
Launch Event appears at Launch fiber position. Does not
appear if Launch Fiber is set to None on Fiber screen.
Receive Event
Receive Event appears at Launch fiber position. Does not
appear if Receive Fiber is set to None on Fiber screen.
