Testing Your Reference Test Cords and Launch Fiber

Testing Your Reference Test Cords
and Launch Fiber
You should test your reference test cords and launch fiber
before each job. Use another set of known-good cords to
set a reference and run an Autotest on each patch cord
and launch fiber. Use Smart Remote mode to test two
cords at a time, or Loopback mode to test one cord.
You should also use a fiber microscope, such as the
FiberInspector video probe, to inspect the reference test
cord and launch fiber connectors for damage at least once
a day.
