3.5 Connecting the DUT
Procedure
Connecting Optical Fibers
1.
Clean the tip of the optical fiber with a fiber cleaner.
2.
Open the instrument’s optical input connector cover.
3.
Connect the optical fiber’s optical connector to the optical input connector on the
instrument.
CAUTION
• Before connecting an optical fiber to the instrument, make sure that the start-up
initialization process has finished. If a strong light source is input during start-up,
the optical section can be damaged.
• Be sure to clean the tip of the optical fiber’s optical connector before connecting.
• Do not try to forcefully attach the optical fiber’s optical connector with the plug
inserted at a slanted angle. Doing so may damage the instrument’s optical
connector’s components or the connector itself.
• Before connecting the input light, make sure that it does not exceed the
AQ6370B’s maximum rated level. If input light exceeding the maximum rated
level is introduced, the optical section may be damaged.
• Slanted (angled) PC-type optical connectors cannot be used with the instrument.
Forcefully connecting a slanted (angled) PC-type optical connector may damage
the equipment. Always use optical fibers with a physical contact (PC) type
optical connector.
• Press the optical connector hard against the cleaning surface of the special
cleaner to clean it. If it is not pressed hard against the cleaning surface, it may
not be possible to properly clean the optical connector.

fiber cleaner.
5.
Connect the optical connector on the other end of the optical fiber to the optical
connector on the DUT.
