Configuring a Custom Fiber Test

In some cases, you might want to create your own custom test, rather than use
the standard tests stored in your test tool. The test tool's Configure Custom Test
function lets you define up to four custom fiber standards.
You can set the following parameters for fiber tests:
•
Custom test name
•
Test standard for default test values (To save time when creating a custom
test, you can base your custom test on a test standard or another custom
test.)
•
Multimode (50 µm or 62.5 µm) or singlemode cable type
•
Maximum length of the fiber if applicable
•
Maximum loss or loss/km at:
850 nm and 1300 nm for FTA-420
1310 nm and 1550 nm for FTA-430
850 nm and 1300 nm for FTA-440
•
Maximum loss per connector
•
Maximum loss per splice
•
Index of refraction (n) if applicable
