STANDARD RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE 003-137-AEN | ISSUE 1 | JANUARy 2017 | PAGE 6 OF 8
8.2
To reference the source and two meters:
Step 1:
Clean and insert the SC-end of
the SC to LC jumper (Reference
Jumper no. 1, or
RJ1
) into the
output of the light source.
Step 2:
Clean and insert the LC end
of
RJ1
jumper into the LC port
adapter of Meter no. 1 (
M1
)
(Figure 8).
For multimode only:
Wrap the jumper 5
times and secure it in a 25 mm mandrel
with tape (standard 50 µm multimode
procedure).
Figure 8
Step 3:
Verify that
RJ1
is acceptable at your system’s wavelength(s) and reference this
power to 0.00 dB.
Step 4:
Disconnect and move the meter-end LC of
RJ1
to Meter no. 2 (
M2
) and repeat
Step 3. Disconnect M2 after this step.
Step 5:
Clean and insert the LC end of
RJ1
into an LC adapter.
Step 6:
Clean and install an LC to LC
jumper-Reference Jumper no.
2 (
RJ2
) into
M1
and the LC
adapter (Figure 9).
Step 7:
Verify that the
RJ1/ RJ2
mated
pair are acceptable with a loss
≤0.15 dB.
Step 8:
Disconnect
RJ2’s
LC
connector from the LC adapter
and protect it with a clean dust
cap until you are ready to start
the system testing.
Step 9:
Clean and install an LC to LC
jumper-Reference Jumper
no.3 (
RJ3
) into
M2
and the LC
adapter (Figure 10).
Step 10:
Verify that the
RJ1/RJ3
mated
pair are acceptable with a loss
≤0.15 dB.
Step 11:
Disconnect
RJ1’s
LC connector
from the LC adapter and protect
it with a clean dust cap.
Step 12:
Leave the LC adapter on the
end of
RJ3
for the remainder
of this procedure since it will be
required for mating to the TAP
port test harness.
