The SmartLoop Test
The SmartLoop test lets you connect the far ends of the two fibers
in a link and do one OTDR test to get separate results for each
fiber. This reduces your test time by approximately 50% and lets
you keep the tester at one end of the links.
You use a launch cord to connect the fibers together at the far
end of the link. When you do the SmartLoop test, the tester uses
the launch compensation settings to remove the effects of the
loopback cord and its connectors.
The tester saves the results in two records, one for each fiber in
the link.
The Auto and Manual settings for the SmartLoop test operate the
same as for the OTDR test. See Table 12 on page 312.
Figure 153 shows the equipment for the SmartLoop test.
