REQUIRED ACCESSORIES
REFERENCE CABLES (2 each): used to set references (aka “zeroing”), and connect the light source (transmit) ports into the link
during testing. Each test unit includes a transmit port and receive port, thus the need for 2 cables.
Please note whether these reference cables are standard-grade or reference-grade.
There are five different types of reference cables that could be used, depending upon the fiber type of the link under test and the
test parameters:
REFERENCE CABLES AND MANDRELS
SINGLEMODE
62.5/125 (OM1)
Mandrel-wrapped
50/125 (OM2/3/4)
Mandrel-wrapped
50/125 (OM2/3/4)
Encircled Flux (EF)
62.5/125 (OM1)
Encircled Flux (EF)
NOTE: EF cables are always considered
as reference-grade.
