Make the connections for
End 1
as shown in Figure 76.
Note
To decrease the wear on the OTDR connector and
help keep it clean, use the short (30 cm, 12 in)
patch cord provided to connect the OTDR to the
launch and tail cords for bi-directional SmartLoop
tests.
To reduce the effect of the short patch cord on
results, do not use a cord longer than 50 cm
(20 in).

Do the SmartLoop test.

Halfway through the test, the tester tells you to connect the
tail cord to the OTDR port. Make the connections for
End 2
as
shown in Figure 76.

Caution
Switch the launch and tail connections at the end
of the short patch cord. If you switch the
connectors at the patch panel, you will possibly
get less accurate results for those connections
during the second half of the test.

change the IDs if necessary.
