About 1 Jumper Reference Connections
The reference and test connections shown in this manual give 1
jumper results. 1 jumper results include the loss of the fiber plus
the loss of the connections at both ends of the link. This is the
best method for tests on premises fiber installations. Premises
installations typically use patch cords at both ends of the link, and
connector loss is a large part of the total loss.
If you do not have the correct connector adapters, see Appendix B
for other connections that give 1 jumper results.
For descriptions of the 2 and 3 jumper reference connections, see
the Versiv Technical Reference Handbook.
Most cable manufacturers will give you a
warranty on a fiber installation only if you use a 1
Jumper reference when you certify the
installation.
If you use a 2 Jumper reference, the Wizard for
the reference procedure does not show steps for
the TRC verification. To save test results for the
TRCs, do the tests manually.
Autotest in Smart Remote Mode
Use Smart Remote mode to do tests on dual-fiber cabling.
In this mode, the tester measures loss and length on two fibers at
two wavelengths. If you turn on the Bi-Directional function, the
tester makes measurements in both directions.
Figure 17 shows the equipment for tests in Smart Remote mode.
