Fiber Testing Overview
This chapter describes how to certify optical fiber cabling. The
procedures in the chapter are sufficient for most fiber
certification jobs. If the requirements of the job are not
addressed here, refer to
Chapter 6 , “Expert Fiber Testing”.
Three connection configurations are available for optical fiber
certification testing.
Double-Ended, Single Fiber
Double-ended single fiber configuration tests one fiber, using
two Fiber SmartProbes. For single fiber testing the fiber must go
from the transmitter/laser source on the DualRemote to the
detector on the FrameScope. When the 850nm multimode probe
is in the DualRemote, the units can be as much as 4 km apart.
When the 1300nm multimode probe is in the DualRemote, the
units can be as much as 10 km apart. When singlemode probes
are used, the FrameScope and DualRemote can be as much as
50 km apart. All maximum lengths are barring excessive loss.
