Refer to Figure


Total Connections
: Enter the total number of connections that
are in each path of the link. Do not adjust the number for the
Reference Method
you use. For example, if the link has 3
connections, enter “3” even if you use the
2
or
3 Jumper
reference method. When the tester calculates the loss limit, it
automatically removes the losses of the connections you used to
set the reference.
Note
For links with MPO modules, each module is one
connector.
No. of
Connectors/
Splices
(continued)
Note
The CertiFiber Pro automatically adjusts the
number of connections for the Reference
Method you use. This is different from the DTX
CableAnalyzer, where you do not include the
reference connections in the number of
connectors.
Splices
: Enter the number of splices in each path of the link.
Jumpers
: Enter the number of jumpers you will use in
each fiber path when you set the reference. The dotted
lines in the diagram on the screen show you which parts
of the link are included in the test results. See
Reference
Method
above.
Figure 108 shows the
No. of Connectors/Splices
screen.
Figure 109 shows how to count the jumpers, connectors,
and splices for this setting.
TRC LENGTH
(Test reference
cord length)
You can enter length of your test reference cords when you
set the reference. To enter this value, tap
TRC LENGTH
on
the
SET REFERENCE
screen. The length you enter does not
change the test results. The tester saves the length with the
results to meet TIA reporting requirements.
