Please refer to your LBV configuration to determine which channels are 
utilized on your LBV. 
 

 
3.2 No Link  

 

If you receive no link indications, the issue is possibly in the tether itself.  To test, 
disconnect the fiber from the LBV, remove the Pull Out Hub from the reel, and 
disconnect the fiber optic cable.  Use a high intensity white light, LED flashlight or 
similar, to shine light from end to end. 
 
NOTE:  The fiber optic connector must be centered over the light source for this test to 
work. 
 

 

 

Light shining into the wet end (FC) connector 
of the tether. 

Light shining,  
Fiber OK 

No Light  
Bad Fiber 

 
If there is no light transmission, the fiber optic cable inside the tether is damaged.  At 
this point, you will need to get access to a fiber optic TDR (Time Delay Reflectometer) 
to determine at what point in the tether the damage has occurred.  SeaBotix Inc. does 
offer a Fiber Optic Re-termination Kit to allow the user to complete this repair in the 
field.  Please contact

 to assist in identifying the proper kit for 

your application. 
 
A ST-ST fiber optic cable can be utilized to verify that the issue is in the tether itself.  To 
perform this verification, insert one end of the ST fiber cable into the FC connector on 
the rear of the LBV and install the other end onto the connector on the MUX hub.  Leave 
the wet mateable connector and the silver ODU connector for POWER connected.  Turn 
the LBV on. If the LBV operates correctly at this point, the issue is a faulty fiber in the 
tether itself.
