STEP
4
For Single Ended Method
See Figure 2 on page 5.
• Disconnect connector end of Launch Jumper from Adapter Cap on Power Meter and insert into Splice Bushing.
• Insert one connector end of the Device Under Test into the Splice Bushing.
• Insert the other connector end of the Device Under Test into the Adapter Cap on the Power Meter.
• The number on the Power Meter display represents the insertion loss due to the connector at the Splice Bushing plus the
attenuation through the length of cable.
For Substitution Method
See Figure 4 on page 7.
• Disconnect second Launch Jumper from Splice Bushing. Then insert into Second Splice Bushing.
• Install the Device Under Test between the two Splice Bushings.
• The number on the Power Meter display represents the insertion loss due to the connector at the Splice Bushing that is closer to
the Light Source, plus the attenuation through the length of cable in the Device Under Test.
