Setting Description
Length Enter a maximum length for the cabling.
Reflective Event Loss Enter a maximum value for connector loss. A typical value is 0.75 dB.
Non-reflective Event Loss Enter a maximum value for splice loss. A typical value is 0.3 dB.
Event Reflectance Enter a maximum reflection value for a single event.
Overall Loss Enter a maximum value for the loss of all components and fiber in the cabling at
each wavelength tested.
Overall Attenuation Coefficient Enter a maximum value of attenuation per kilometer for the entire length of the
cabling at each wavelength tested.
Segment Attenuation Coefficient Enter a maximum value of attenuation per kilometer for a fiber segment in the
cabling at each wavelength tested.
Note
The segment attenuation coefficient for shorter segments (50 m to 500 m,
depending on wavelength and fiber characteristics) may not be measurable.
