TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1.1 Testing the Fiber Optic Link Segment
Test the segment being attached to the FOT-F3 to verify
that the cable meets the fiber budget specifications
discussed in Chapter 2. Using a fiber optic power meter
set, test your link segment as follows:
1. Attach a fiber optic jumper to the optical power meter.
The meter should be set at 1300 nm.
2. Attach a fiber optic jumper to the optical source unit.
If the source unit has multiple settings, it should be
set at 1300 nm.
3. Using a barrel connector, connect the jumpers
together.
4. Following the instructions for the test set, test the
jumpers to get a reference level. Make a note of this
reading.
5. Disconnect the jumpers from the barrel connector.
6. Using the jumper, attach the optical power meter to
one end of one strand of the link segment.
7. Using the other jumper, attach the other end of the
same strand to the optical source unit.
