Certify Fiber Cabling
Requirements for Reliable Fiber Test Results

To prevent damage to fiber connectors, to prevent
data loss, and to make sure that your test results are
as accurate as possible:
• Use the EF-TRC cords only with the CertiFiber Pro
modules or with sources approved by Fluke
Networks for use with the cords. If a source does
not have the correct LED and internal fibers, the
EF-TRC cords will not make launch conditions that
agree with encircled flux standards.
• When you use the EF-TRCs, DO NOT use other mandrels.
• Always follow the handling guidelines given in Figure 56.
• Put protective caps on all connectors when you do
not use them.
• Use EF-TRCs that have the fiber core dimension
(50 µm or 62.5 µm) and type of connectors (SC, ST,
LC, or FC) that are the same as the fiber link. Do not
use EF-TRCs with hybrid patch cords to connect to
links that have other types of connectors.
