Press
to highlight the fiber type of the network under test, then press
to SELECT.
Press
to measure the fiber length with the Fiber OWL 4 BOLT. If you wish to enter the fiber
length manually, skip to
..
Connect the Fiber OWL 4 BOLT to your fiber link as shown in Figure 3.
Review the end-to-end fiber length, then press
to continue. In the example screenshot at
right, the end-to-end fiber length could be within the range of 1000 to 1006 meters.
The end-to-end length shown here is the length that will be entered into the Link Wizard
configuration. Press
to continue.
OPTIONAL:
you may also enter the fiber length manually from this screen.
Enter the number of connections (i.e. patch panels) in the link under test, then press
to
continue.
Enter the number of splices in the link under test, then press
to continue. Splices can be
either fusion or mechanical. Typical multimode networks will have zero splices.
Length testing is complete. You may now remove all of the patch cables from the link under test.
Typical fiber networks will have 2 connections – one for a patch panel located at each
end of the link.
some connectors use mechanical splice technology for termination. If the link under
test is terminated with these “no-polish, no-epoxy” type connectors, they should be considered as mechanical splices.
