Why is the insertion loss higher than expected on my EXFO FTBx-9110?
If the insertion loss is higher than expected on your EXFO Switch, it could be due to dirty optical connectors. Try cleaning all the optical connectors. Also, check that the correct wavelength is selected on all instruments being used; switch to the correct wavelength if needed.
What to do if my RTUe-9110/RTUe-9120 external EXFO Switch is not working?
If the RTUe-9110/RTUe-9120 external EXFO Switch isn't working after connection, it might be due to a firmware update in progress. Wait for the update to complete; the LED will turn steady green when ready. If that's not the case, the switch might not have been detected. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the switch, ensuring the RTU-2 unit is on with a steady green System LED. If problems persist, turn off the RTU-2, ensure the switch is properly connected with the USB cable, and then restart the RTU-2.
Why does my EXFO FTBx-9110 have poor repeatability?
Poor repeatability with your EXFO Switch can occur if the optical source is unstable; wait for the source to stabilize. Alternatively, select High Repeatability.
What to do if FIP application returns a Fail status for MPO port of my EXFO RTUe-9120 external switch?
If the dedicated FIP application shows a Fail status for an MPO port (connector) on your RTUe-9120 external EXFO Switch, it indicates at least one dirty or damaged fiber inside the MPO connector. Use the FIP application to see which fibers are failing. If you're using a 2 x 12 configuration, ignore the Fail status of the four fibers at each end. If the sixteen central fibers all pass, the connector is fine. If some of the eight central fibers fail, try cleaning the connector again.
How to fix no optical continuity on EXFO FTBx-9110 Switch?
If there is no optical continuity in your EXFO Switch, make sure that the switch is on. Set the Continuity switch to On.
