Using the ChannelMap Function

The ChannelMap ™ function creates a map of the cabling
under test. The map shows the fiber links and connections in
the cabling. This function is optimized for resolving
connections as close as 1 m apart on multimode fiber and
2 m apart on singlemode fiber.
Reflective events that do not appear to be connectors are
not shown on the map. Loss events are also not shown.

Since the ChannelMap function identifies only
reflections, it is not appropriate for finding fusion
splices or angled physical contact (APC) connectors.
Figure 14 shows the equipment needed for ChannelMap
tests.
