Fiber-Under-Test
The fiber-under-test is singlemode with LC
connectors on each end. This method allows testing
of connectors inside bulkheads. One or both ends of
this fiber-under-test may be inside bulkheads. The
fiber-under-test may be up to 250 kilometers long.
In this example, the fiber-under-test is 400 meters
long.
Test Jumpers
The test jumpers are both one-meter singlemode
fiber. One has one SC and one LC connector, and
the other has two LC connectors.

Power Meter
The RP 460 power meter is set to the
1550nm wavelength. The 1310nm
wavelength may also be used. Always
match the wavelength on the RP 460
to the wavelength on the DLS 355. The
adapter on the RP 460 is the AC 029 LC
adapter.
Light Source
The DLS 355 laser source is set to the
1550nm wavelength. The 1310nm
wavelength may also be used. The
adapter is the default AC 022B SC adapter.
