QUICK CARD
► Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe
microscope to inspect both sides of every
connection being used (OCC Port, Launch
Cable, bulkhead connectors, patch cables, etc.)
► Focus fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean the
end-face.
► If it appears clean, run inspection test.
► If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection
test. Repeat until it passes.

DWDM Optical Channel Checker
This quick card describes how to connect to a fiber under test, configure DWDM Optical
Channel Checker (OCC) test setups, run tests, and analyze results with a T-BERD/MTS-
5800 equipped with an OCC-4056C module.
Note: The OCC module is used to monitor wavelengths on a live network. Care
should be exercised when unplugging fibers from the network as the fibers
may be carrying traffic.
► T-BERD/MTS-5800 equipped with the
following:
► Fiber Optics Software Release V21.0 or
greater
► OCC-4056C DWDM OCC Module
► Fiber optic cleaning and inspection tools
► 20-meter Fiber optic patch cable (Launch
Cable)
