3.7Running a Fiber Autotest

Some Autotests do not have a fixed loss limit. The Optical Link Budget (OLB) is calculated based on the wavelength, the length of the cable, and the number of connectors and splices.

OMNIScanner will automatically display the CONNECTIONS screen if you are running an equation based Autotest (TIA 568A, ISO 11801, or 1000BASE-F).

1.With the Connections: field highlighted, press ENTER. Use the up-arrow or down-arrow key to adjust the number of connections in your link. To determine the total number of connections, simply count all of the connections (connector pairs) on one fiber. OMNIScanner will assume that both fibers of a duplex link have the same number of connections.
