LOSS MODE
– After a fiber cable has been installed and terminated, optical loss measurements can be used to measure the quality
of a fiber link. A comparison between the actual power measurement and the reference value determines how much optical power is
lost through the link.
LOSS MODE can be performed with all models of
TEST PROCEDURE
This procedure demonstrates a test procedure that assumes that the fiber link was properly designed, installed, and tested according
to industry standard requirements and recommended “best practices” as shown below:
For non-standard link configurations, such as a patch panel on one end, or “home run” (i.e. no patch panels), technicians may need to
adjust their test procedure and reference method accordingly.
