Troubleshooting Method
The optical fiber is not
firmly connected or
different types of optical
fiber connectors are
interconnected.
NOTE
If the optical fiber is not
firmly connected or
different types of optical
fiber connectors are
interconnected, the
attenuation and reflection
will be excessively large.
1. The return loss points of the
backbone fiber and branch
fiber are abnormal tested by
using the OTDR.
2. Check the optical fiber
connectors on site. It is
found that the optical fiber
is not firmly connected or
PC connector (blue) and
APC connector (green) are
interconnected.
l
If the optical fiber is not
firmly connected, reconnect
the optical fiber firmly.
l
If different types of optical
fiber connectors are
interconnected, replace the
incompatible connector
with a compatible one or
replace relevant devices,
such as the optical splitter.
NOTE
In the scenario of the CATV
service, it is recommended that
you use APC connectors (green)
only.
The multi-mode optical
fiber is used.
NOTE
If the multi-mode optical
fiber is used as the
backbone or branch optical
fiber, the optical signal
attenuates quickly and the
return loss increases.
1. Optical signals of the
backbone fiber and branch
fiber attenuate seriously by
using the OTDR.
2. The multi-mode optical
fiber is used onsite. The
multi-mode optical fiber
can be recognized by its
physical features such as its
color.
Replace the multi-mode optical
fiber with the single-mode
optical fiber.
