CHAPTER 5: Measurements

The LENGTH/DELAY screen displays the GRI @ 1300 nm (nanometers).

The length limit and the actual derived length are displayed in meters or feet.

The delay is displayed in nanoseconds (nS).

Press ESC to exit the LENGTH/DELAY screen.

5.4.2LOSS

The Loss function measures the signal loss in a fiberoptic cable. The adapters inject a signal into the fiber cable and OMNIScanner and OMNIRemote measure the received signals at 850 and 1300 nm for multimode fiber cables and 1310 for single-mode fiber cables.

The LOSS screen displays the measured power in dBm (decibels, one milliwatt reference) for each wavelength.

The measured loss and limit values in decibel (dB) are displayed for both wavelengths.
