CertiFiber and CertiFiber Remote are designed
to provide a consistent, calibrated light source
for effectively measuring signal loss in
fiberoptic cables. The light can be transmitted
continuously or modulated: When testing loss,
use CertiFiber to function as a continuous-wave
(CW) light source; when identifying fiber cables
with a tone locator, use the 2-KHz modulated
mode.
To perform a loss test or fiber identification,
take these steps:
1. Attach the cable to the the TX1 connector
on the CertiFiber.
