Polarity Detection

You can use the MultiFiber Pro meter and source to see the
polarity of MTP/MPO patch cords and cables. The signals
from the source include the channel numbers. The meter
compares the transmitted numbers to the numbers of the
channels that received the signals. The meter can then show
the polarity of the connections:
• A, B, C: The connections use a standard method, A, B,
or C. See Figure A-1 on page 40.
• ?: The connections do not use a standard method.
• OTHER: The connections use the Corning Plug &
Play ™ Universal Systems method of polarity
management. See Figure B-16 on page 59.
• If POLARITY does not show, one or more fibers are
not connected or SCAN ALL is off on the source.

To get the correct polarity indication when you
measure loss, you must use type B test reference
cords when you set the reference.
