Fiber Continuity Test

Fiber Continuity Tests

When there is a problem communicating over a particular fiber link and both the Switch and the N_Port adapter pass their respective tests, check the continuity of the fiber optic cables.

Step 1

If possible, swap another set of fiber optic cables into the faulty link.

Did this correct the problem?

Yes

Replace the faulty cable.

No

Contact your service representative.

Step 2

If it is not possible to swap a different set of fiber cables into the faulty link, disconnect the SC connectors from both ends of the faulty link and shine a flashlight through each fiber (one fiber at a time).

Did light shine through each fiber?

No

Replace the faulty cable.

Yes

Contact Ancor Customer Service or your authorized maintenance provider.
