Remove the patch cable from the detector port on the ZOOM 2, and bring both units to the opposite ends of the link under test,
leaving the mandrel-wrapped cable attached to the WaveSource.
Connect the ZOOM 2 and WaveSource to the link under test as shown in Figure 5.
Press
on the ZOOM 2 several times until the wavelength is set to 850nm.
Press
on the WaveSource once to set the wavelength to 850nm (the
LED will now be lit).
Record the 850nm ‘dB’ loss value for the current fiber under test.
Disconnect both patch cables from the patch panels and move to the next port on the patch panels.
Repeat steps 17 and 18 for each fiber in the cable under test until all fibers have been tested at 850nm.
Press
on the ZOOM 2 once to set the wavelength to 1300nm.
Press
on the WaveSource once to set the wavelength is to 1300nm (the
LED will now be lit).
Record the 1300nm ‘dB’ loss value for the current fiber under test.
Disconnect both patch cables from the patch panels and move to the next port on the patch panels.
Repeat steps
and
for each fiber in the cable under test until all fibers have been tested at 1300nm.
