Table 3-4. Event Types (cont.)
No fiber is attached to the OTDR port, the fiber is too short, or there is a bad
connector or broken fiber somewhere near the tester. May also occur if the fiber
has very high loss, or if the tester is in Manual OTDR mode and the PULSE WIDTH is
too narrow.
If the OTDR trace and event table show that the fiber is very short, check for bad
connections and broken fibers within a few meters of the tester.
