6.7 Inserting the Fiber
Carefully align the optical fiber connector to the port to avoid rubbing the fiber against the
external part of the port or any other surface. If the interface of the connector has an alignment
key, make sure to insert it correctly into the corresponding groove.
Push the connector in and make sure the optical cables are inserted to guarantee sufficient
contact. If the connector has screw bushing, screw down the connector to fix in the optical
fiber. Do not over-screw the connector or it will damage the optical fiber and the port.
6.7.1 Preventing Inaccurate Readings
To achieve maximum power and prevent false readings, clean the optical fiber connector
interfaces before inserting them into the test port.
Please ensure the correct fiber connector type is used before inserting it into the test port or
connector. Mismatched connector types will damage the optical end faces and the test set.
Note: If the optical fiber is not aligned properly and/or completely connected, it will
cause serious loss and reflection.
