All fibers shall be tested after installation, but prior to turn-up
•
Before fibers are tested, they shall be labeled properly and all cable tags shall be
removed.
•
A 1310-nm or 1550-nm test source and an ITE# 7116 (or equivalent) optical power
meter shall be used to perform all tests.
•
The light source shall first be measured for a reference point/baseline.

pulled or stretched. This could cause damage to the fiber or the fiber connector.
