Figure 14. How to Prevent Damage to the EF-TRC Fiber Cables

About APC Connectors

When you do tests on links with APC (angled physical contact) 
connectors, use only test reference cords with APC connectors on 
the ends connected to the link. If you connect non-APC 
connectors to the link, the connectors will cause large reflections 
that make loss measurements inaccurate. 

For tests on links with APC connectors, use test reference cords 
with APC connectors on the ends connected to the tester’s input 
ports. This is necessary for the 1 jumper reference method. You 
can connect APC connectors to the tester’s input ports because 
the fiber does not touch the lens on the input port. 

Connect only UPC connectors to the tester’s output ports.
