No Fiber
The tester does not see a
fiber connected to the
OTDR port.
No fiber is connected to the OTDR port, the
fiber is broken or cracked near the port, the
port has very high loss, or the fiber is too
short.
Connect a fiber to the port or to the launch
cord. If a fiber is connected:
Make sure the connection is tight and there
are no breaks or cracks in the fiber near the
port.
Clean and inspect the port connector.
Do a Manual OTDR test with a narrow pulse
width.
Out of Range
The tester did not find an
end event.
This can occur for Manual OTDR
tests when
the range you selected is too short. Select a
higher range on the TEST SETUP screen.
For Auto OTDR tests, Out of Range can occur
when the cabling is much longer than the
range of the module. Rarely, very bad
connections along the cabling can cause the
OTDR to select a range that is too short.
Compare the expected cabling length to the
maximum range of the module. If the length is
within range, try the Manual OTDR test with
the maximum range setting.
For DataCenter OTDR tests, Out of Range can
occur if the link is longer than the range of the
test.
