Fiber Testing Overview
Fiber Testing Overview
This chapter describes how to certify optical fiber cabling. The procedures in the chapter are sufficient for most fiber certification jobs. If the requirements of the job are not addressed here, refer to Chapter 6, “Expert Fiber Testing”.
Three connection configurations are available for optical fiber certification testing.
Double-Ended, Single Fiber
Double-ended single fiber configuration tests one fiber, using two Fiber SmartProbes. For single fiber testing the fiber must go from the transmitter/laser source on the DualRemote to the detector on the FrameScope. When the 850nm multimode probe is in the DualRemote, the units can be as much as 4 km apart. When the 1300nm multimode probe is in the DualRemote, the units can be as much as 10 km apart. When singlemode probes are used, the FrameScope and DualRemote can be as much as 50 km apart. All maximum lengths are barring excessive loss.
