t
er describes the
group of fibers you are testing.
Press
<DONE>
to continue.
STEP 16
Change the LINK DATE to the date the fiber will be tested using the format
MM-DD-
YY
.
Press
<DONE>
when you are finished entering the current date.
STEP 17
Highlight the cabling standard to use for the set of fibers you are testing.
Press
<F2>
to select the chosen standard.
STEP 18
Highlight the fiber type of the network under test.
Press
<F2>
to select the fiber type.
STEP 19
Enter the end-to-end length of the fiber link under test in meters.
Press
<DONE>
to continue.
STEP 20
Enter the number of connections (i.e. patch panels) in the link under test. Typical fiber
networks will have 2 connections – one for a patch panel located at each end of the link.
Press
<DONE>
to continue.
STEP 21
Enter the number of splices in the link under test. Splices can be either fusion or
mechanical. Typical singlemode networks will have zero splices.
NOTE:
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.
Press
<DONE>
