About 1 Jumper Reference Connections
The reference and test connections shown in this manual give 1
jumper results. 1 jumper results include the loss of the fiber plus
the loss of the connections at both ends of the link. This is the
best method for tests on premises fiber installations. Premises
installations typically use patch cords at both ends of the link, and
connector loss is a large part of the total loss.
If you do not have the correct connector adapters, see Appendix B
for other connections that give 1 jumper results.
For descriptions of the 2 and 3 jumper reference connections, see
the
Versiv Technical Reference Handbook
.

Caution
Most cable manufacturers will give you a
warranty on a fiber installation only if you use a 1
Jumper reference when you certify the
installation.
Note
If you use a 2 Jumper reference, the Wizard for
the reference procedure does not show steps for
the TRC verification. To save test results for the
TRCs, do the tests manually.
