Table 2. Fiber Test Settings (cont.)
-continued-
Setting Description
SETUP > Fiber Loss >
Bi-Directional
When enabled in Smart Remote or Loopback mode, the tester prompts you to swap the test
connections halfway through the test. The tester can then make bi-directional measurements
for each fiber at each wavelength (850 nm/1300 nm, 850 nm/1310 nm, or 1310 nm/1550 nm).
SETUP > Fiber Loss >
Number of Adapters
SETUP > Fiber Loss >
Number of Splices
If the selected limit uses a calculated loss limit, enter the number of adapters and splices that
will be added to the fiber path after the reference is set. Figure 6 shows an example of how to
determine the Number of Adapters setting.
Only limits that use maximum values for loss per km, loss per connector, and loss per splice use a
calculated limit for overall loss. For example, limits for fiber backbones use a calculated loss
limit.
SETUP > Fiber Loss >
Connector Type
Select the type of connector used in the cabling. This setting affects only the diagrams shown
for reference connections. If the cabling's connector type is not listed, use General.
