Executing a Loop-Back Loss Test
WARNING
• While the AQ1200 is producing light, do not remove the optical fiber cable, because light is
emitted from the light source port. Visual impairment may occur if the light enters the eye.
• Close the covers of any light source ports that do not have optical fiber cables connected
to them. On models with two or more light source ports, visual impairment may occur if light
that is mistakenly emitted from the wrong port enters the eye.
Connect one end of the optical fiber or line that you need to perform loss testing on to the AQ1200
optical power measurement port, and connect the other end to the light source port of the same
AQ1200.

The light source generates the specified
wavelengths of measurement light in order.
The optical power meter measures the optical
power of the light that it receives.
