Setting Up for Fiber Tests

This section tells you how to configure your test tool for testing fiber links.

Selecting a Test Standard and Fiber Type

Fiber test standards define limits for losses in adapters and splices, the length
of fiber optic links, and other parameters. When you select a standard, the test
tool also prompts you to select a cable type.
The DSP-4000 test tool is programmed with the standards available
when the unit leaves the factory. When new standards emerge, they
will be included with DSP-4000 software upgrades available from
Fluke. Refer to the DSP-4000 Users Manual for information on
upgrades or contact Fluke Networks on the World Wide Web at
