The length of the fiber segment between two events.
: An event that has a reflectance larger than -35 dB. It is
possibly a connector that is dirty, poorly polished, scratched,
cracked, misaligned, unseated, worn, or the wrong type.

not show on the screen. To see the events, tap the icon or scroll

Names for the ends of the link. For example, the names can
describe the locations of the ends: “TELECOM” for the ends in
the telecommunications closet and “OFFICE” for the ends in
offices. You can enter names on the CHANGE ID screen. See
Figure 199 on page 528.
When more than one button shows at the bottom of the
screen, the tester highlights one in yellow to recommend
which one to tap. See “Buttons to Do Tests and Save Results”
on page 61.
If the window is blue, the reflectance of the event is smaller

To see the window for another event, tap another icon on the
fiber.
Fiber Length: The length of the fiber. This includes the lengths
