Certify Fiber Cabling
Settings for Fiber Tests
153
Connector
Type
Select the type of connector, such as SC or LC, used in the
cabling.
The tester uses this setting when you do bi-directional tests.
If you select a connector that has a threaded or bayonet
coupler, such as FC or ST, the tester waits for you to confirm
that the connection is complete before it starts the second
part of the test. If you select a quick-release connector, such
as SC or LC, the tester automatically starts the test when
you connect the fiber.
The tester also saves this setting to record the type of
connector you used. This setting does not change your test
results or any of the diagrams that the tester shows. If the
correct type is not in the list, select General.
No. of Con-
nectors/
Splices
The Total Connections and Splices settings are applicable
only if the selected test limit uses a calculated limit for loss.
Total Connections: Enter the total number of connections
that are in each path of the link. Do not adjust the number
for the Reference Method you use. For example, if the link
has 3 connections, enter “3” even if you use the 2
or 3
Jumper reference method. When the tester calculates the
loss limit, it automatically removes the losses of the
connections you used to set the reference.
Note
The CertiFiber Pro automatically adjusts the
number of connections for the Reference Method
you use. This is different from the DTX
CableAnalyzer, where you do not include the
reference connections in the number of
connectors.
Splices: Enter the number of splices in each path of the link.
