No. of
Connectors/
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.
Jumpers: Enter the number of jumpers you will use in
each fiber path when you set the reference. The dotted
lines in the diagram on the screen show you which parts
of the link are included in the test results. See Reference
Method above.
Figure 78 shows the No. of Connectors/Splices screen.
Figure 79 shows how to count the jumpers, connectors,
and splices for this setting.
TRC LENGTH
(Test reference
cord length)
You can enter length of your test reference cords when you
set the reference. To enter this value, tap TRC LENGTH on
the SET REFERENCE screen. The length you enter does not
change the test results. The tester saves the length with the
results to meet TIA reporting requirements.
