Testing in Far End Source Mode
Use Far End Source mode to measure power or power
loss at one wavelength on individual fibers. A Far End
Source mode record can store dual-wavelength results
from both directions.
Far End Source mode requires a stand-alone optical
source, such as a Fluke Networks DTX Smart Remote with
a fiber module, a SimpliFiber
source, or a LS-1310/1550
Laser Source. Far End Source mode is available on
OFTM-5xx1B and OFTM-5xx2 modules. Figure 30 shows
the equipment needed for testing in Far End Source
mode.
