Description
Zones
These panels show the widths of the zones on the endface.
The ranges for the widths See Figure 207.
A: Core
: The core typically has a diameter of 50 μ m or
62.5 μ m for multimode fiber or 9 μ m for singlemode fiber.
The ranges for the diameter of the core zone are 0 μ m to
65 μ m for multimode and 0 μ m to 25 μ m for singlemode.
B: Cladding
: The cladding zone starts at the edge of the core
zone. The range for the outside diameter of the cladding
zone is 110
μ m to 120 μ m for multimode and singlemode.
C: Adhesive
: The adhesive zone is between the cladding and
contact zones. The tester does not have settings for this zone
because standards for endface analysis do not require an
analysis of defects in the adhesive zone. The tester shows
only the width of the zone, which depends on the diameters
of the cladding and contact zones.
D: Contact
: The range for the inside diameter of the contact
zone is 130 μ m to 140 μ m for singlemode and multimode.
The outside diameter of the contact zone is always 250 μ m.

Defects
Scratches
Defects include dirt particles, chips, and pits.
Size
and
Width
: You can specify up to five sizes of defects
and widths of scratches. To specify another size, tap
ADD
SIZE
or
ADD SCRATCH
. The maximum size or width you can
specify is 250 μ m.
The lists of defects and scratches include one for all defects
or scratches larger than the largest one you specify. For this
one, you can specify the number allowed.
Number Allowed
: You can allow from 0 to 10 of each size of
defect or scratch, or select
Any
to allow any number of a
defect.
To delete a defect or scratch, tap
