CHAPTER 3: Getting Started: Fiber Optic Networks
3.6 Running An Autotest for Fiber Optic Cabling
3.6.1PREPARING AN AUTOTEST
1.Connect OMNIFiber Main to the near end of the RX/TX fiber pair you are testing and connect OMNIFiber Remote to the far end. Depending on the method that was used to obtain the reference, connect your fibers as follows:
METHOD A
To run an Autotest when Method A was used to set the Reference proceed as follows:
2 m Launch Cable
| RX |
850 nm 1300/1310 nm | TX |
METHOD A
Cable under Test
Wall Plate
2 m Launch Cable
Patch Panel
TX | 850 nm 1300/1310 nm |
RX |
|
1.Do not disconnect the launch cables from the OMNIFiber Adapters.
2.Remove the connector adapters (sleeves) that connect the two launch cables.
3.Connect the OMNIFiber Main to one end of the duplex link under test, and the OMNIFiber Remote to the opposite end.
