Table 7-1. Loss/Length Test Settings (cont.)
Loss/Length tab TEST METHOD Loss results include connections added after referencing. The reference and test
connections determine which connections are included in results. The Test Method
refers to the number of end connections included:
2 Jumper: Loss results include one connection at one end of the link.
1 Jumper: Loss results include connections at both ends of the link. The reference
and test connections shown in this Chapter produce 1 jumper results. See "About
1 Jumper Connections" on page 7-10.
3 Jumper: Loss results exclude connections at the ends of the link. Only the fiber
loss is measured.
Different standards have different names for the three test methods. See
Appendix A for details.
The TEST METHOD setting does not affect loss results. It is only saved with the
results to record which method you used. This setting does affect the reference
and test diagrams shown on the tester's display. The diagrams show connections
for the method selected.
CONNECTOR
TYPE Select the type of connector used in the cabling. This setting affects the diagrams
shown for reference connections. If the cabling's connector type is not listed, use
General.
