Measurement Results

The troubleshooter measures the reflectance of incidents on the
fiber and the distance to the incidents. A reflective incident will
most frequently be the end of the fiber, a break in the fiber, or a
connector.
The troubleshooter shows the distance to loss incidents that are
higher than the limit you selected. A loss incident can be a
connector, a bad splice, a crack, or a sharp bend in the fiber.
After a test, the troubleshooter shows the distance to the end of
the fiber or to a break. If there is a break in the fiber, the
troubleshooter does not show incidents after the break.
If the troubleshooter shows  MORE , it found one or more
reflective or loss incidents before the end of the fiber or the
 
break. Press
See Figures 7 and 8.
Be sure to subtract the lengths of the launch and
receive fibers from the results.


A connector endface is dirty or damaged.

A connector is loose.

The cable is damaged within about 3 m of the connector.

