PASS: The measurement in the column is within the limit.
FAIL: The measurement in the column exceeds the limit.
RESULT
The loss, length, or propagation delay result for the fiber. Propagation delay is half of the time taken for
the signal to travel from the tester's OUTPUT connector to the INPUT connector (minus the delay of the
reference test cords and adapters). "Too High" is shown if the loss is too high to measure.
If loss is negative, set the reference and test the cabling again. See Table 7-10 for details.
LIMIT
The maximum loss, length, or propagation delay allowed by the selected test limit.
MARGIN
The difference between the limit and the measured value. Margin is negative for measurements that fail.
N/A
The results show N/A for values not defined by the selected test limit.
