6.7 Inserting the Fiber
Carefully align the optical fiber connector to the port to avoid rubbing the fiber against the external
part of the port or any other surface. If the interface of the connector has an alignment key, make sure to insert it correctly into the
corresponding groove.
Push the connector in and make sure the optical cables are inserted to guarantee sufficient contact. If the connector has screw
bushing, screw down the connector to fix in the optical fiber. Do not over- screw the connector or it will damage the optical fiber and
the port.
6.7.1 Preventing Inaccurate Readings
To achieve maximum power and prevent false readings, clean the optical fiber connector interfaces before inserting them into the
test port.
Please ensure the correct fiber connector type is used before inserting it into the test port or connector. Mismatched connector types
will damage the optical end faces and the test set.
If the optical fiber is not aligned properly and/or completely connected, it will cause serious loss and reflection.
