Connect the Fiber OWL 4 BOLT to your fiber link as shown in Figure 3.
Review the end-to-end fiber length, then press
to continue. In the example screenshot
at right, the end-to-end fiber length could be within the range of 1000 to 1006 meters.
The length shown here is what will be entered into the Link Wizard configuration. Press
to
continue.
OPTIONAL:
you may also enter the fiber length manually from this screen.
Enter the number of connections (i.e. patch panels) in the link under test, then press
to
continue.
Enter the number of splices in the link under test, then press
to continue. Splices can be
either fusion or mechanical. Typical multimode networks will have zero splices.
Review your Link Wizard setup.
If correct, press
to continue on to the next step.
If changes need to be made, press
and go back to
.
Press
until the asterisk (*) is in front of 1310nm (as shown at right), then press
to begin
the SET REFERENCE procedure for 1310nm.
Length testing is complete. You may now remove all of the patch cables from the link under test.
Typical fiber networks will have 2 connections – one for a patch panel located at each
end of the link.
some connectors use mechanical splice technology for termination. If the link under
test is terminated with these “no-polish, no-epoxy” type connectors, they should be considered as mechanical splices.
