The SmartLoop Test
The SmartLoop test lets you connect the far ends of the two fibers
in a link and do one OTDR test to get separate results for each
fiber.
You use a launch cord to connect the fibers together at the far
end of the link. When you do the SmartLoop test, the tester uses
the launch compensation settings to remove the effects of the
loopback cord and its connectors.
The Auto and Manual settings for the SmartLoop test operate the
same as for the OTDR test. See Table 7 on page 153.
Figure 72 shows the equipment for the SmartLoop test.
