Appendix C: Reference Methods for

The following discussion uses the 1, 2, and 3 jumper

terminology for the names of the three common test

methods. See Appendix B for a cross-reference of the

method names in various standards.

TIA-526-14B and 526-7 specify the One-Cord

Reference method for measuring loss on multimode

premises fiber and Method A.1 for singlemode

premises fiber, respectively. Both are 1 jumper

reference methods.

The number of fiber connections represented in loss test results

depends on how many test reference cords you use to set the

reference. This appendix describes the three common reference

methods: 1, 2, and 3 jumper.

Use the Reference Method setting on the tester's TEST SETUP

screen to select the method you will use. This setting does not

change the loss measurements, but it can change the

result for test limits that use a calculated loss limit. For all test

limits, the tester saves this setting to show the reference method
