Using the Loss/Length Option
The loss/length measurement option provides the
following features, in addition to the OTDR module
features described earlier:
•
Measures optical power loss, length, and propagation
delay on dual-fiber cabling. Provides PASS/FAIL results
based on limits you enter or on factory-installed
limits.
•
FindFiber

feature helps you identify and verify
optical connections.
The loss/length option is available with OFTM-56x2B and
OFTM-5732 modules.
About Smart Remotes
You can use the following as the remote for loss/length
testing and FindFiber tests in Smart Remote mode:
•
A second OptiFiber tester with the loss/length option
• A Fluke Networks DTX Series CableAnalyzer™ smart
remote with a multimode or singlemode fiber
module. The DTX remote can also be used as a
manually-controlled source for testing in Far End
Source mode. You can buy a DTX smart remote
separately for this purpose. See the Fluke Networks
website or contact Fluke Networks for details.
Note
The OptiFiber tester must have software version
1.8.8 or later to work with a DTX-xFM2 smart
remote. OptiFiber software updates are available
on the Fluke Networks website.
