OTDR Settings for Limits that Calculate a Loss
Limit
Some test limits do not specify a limit for overall loss. They specify
maximum values of loss per kilometer of fiber and for the
connectors and splices in the link. Then, the tester uses the
measured length of the link, the number of connectors in the
link, and the number of splices in the link to calculate a loss limit
for that link.
When you select such a limit, you must enter the number of
connectors and splices that are in the link. To enter these values,
tap Test Limit Settings on the TEST SETUP screen. See Table 16.
Test Limit Settings shows on the TEST SETUP
screen only if the selected test limit calculates a
loss limit for each link. For example, Test Limit
Settings shows when you select the limit ISO/IEC
14763-3.

* For the SmartLoop OTDR test, the settings apply to each fiber in the link. Enter the
number of connectors and splices for one of the fibers in the link. For example, if there
are no connectors between the launch and loopback fibers, the Number of
Connectors is 2.

Note
to Calculate a Loss Limit
Enter the number of connectors that are in the link.
If you do not use launch and tail cords, do not
include the first and last connectors. If you use only
a launch cord, include the first connector, but not
the last connector.
Enter the number of splices that are in the link.
