Two Jumper Reference Method in Loopback Mode
The OMNI Fiber Main can be used without the remote to make measure-
ments on a single fiber. In this state the TX fiber is looped back to the RX
port of the same OMNI Fiber adapter.
Note: During the Autotest, the loss and length of the white fiber will be
subtracted from the length of the fiber under test. Since the loss in a short
jumper cable is negligible, the loss measurement of the fiber under test will
be accurate. The length measurement will be off by the length of the jumper
cable (about 2 meters). This primarily affects the length accuracy of very
short cables.
1. Connect the launch cable to the OMNI Fiber. The black fiber attached to
the TX (transmit) port and the white fiber to the RX (receive) port.
2. Use a connector
adapter to mate the
connections on the
other end.
3. Press (Setup)
to open the SETUP
screen and then select
Set Reference to set
the reference.
4. Disconnect the white connector from both the RX port and the connector
adapter. Do not disturb the black fiber attached to OMNI Fiber’s TX port.
5. Leave the two white ends dangling.
6. Attach the cable to be tested to the connector adapter and the
OMNI Fiber’s open RX port .
