Figure 29 - Cable types and test parameters - FO
To change between copper and fiber interface, press the copper or fiber button above the
cable type list. The cable type icon will change to FO and the menu screen will split into two
main areas. On the
left side
the already implemented templates appear again. On the
right
side
you will find information about
name
,
speed
,
type, core diameter and active SFP port
.
This typical sequence results from the options above for creating a new test standard:
•
Select copper or fiber test interface - Cu or FO.
•
Select a suitable template from the cable type list. The choices made should be as close
as possible to the requirements to minimize the need for later adjustments. Direct use or
modification of the templates should be avoided because it cannot be edited once the
cable type is added to the cable test list.
•
To copy and edit a cable type, select a cable type and press the plus icon at the bottom of
the list. A copy will be added to the bottom of the list. Select the created copy, adjust the
name and edit the parameters described above.
