Two-row Loopback

Polarity shown here is compatible with ANSI/TIA-568.3. For one-row loopback,
follow Step 3.1a.

3.1b.1

For a two-row loopback, you will need 12 fibers for a 12-fiber wide
ferrule and 16 fibers for a 16-fiber wide ferrule. Cut the fibers into 155mm
lengths. Use tape to keep the loose fibers together. Mark both ends of the
fibers 40mm from the end.
