Introduction

Performing a test for 

Insertion Loss

 (also commonly called 

dB Loss 

or

 Attenuation)

 on a fiber optic 

cable requires an Optical Power Meter (

OPM

) and an Optical Light Source (

OLS

). This document 

outlines the specific steps which must be taken with ODM’s RP 460 optical power meter to perform 

insertion loss testing on a variety of fiber types and setups.

Example 1: Singlemode Fiber, Point-to-Point, 1 Jumper 

3

Example 2: Singlemode Fiber, Point-to-Point, 2 Jumpers 

5

Example 3: Singlemode Fiber, Paired, Loopback Jumper 

7

Example 4: Multimode Fiber, Point-to-Point, 1 Jumper 

9

Example 5: Multimode Fiber, Paired, Loopback Jumper
