Replacing Fiber Test Reference Cords (DTX-XFM2
modules)
Choose replacement test reference cords that meet the
following requirements:
•
Core and cladding size: match the fiber to be tested
•
Connector polish: PC or UPC (see the Caution below)
•
Test reference cord length: minimum 2 m; maximum
5 m
•
To ensure optimum performance from your tester, get
replacement cords from Fluke Networks.
W
When testing links with APC (angled physical
contact) connectors, use only test reference cords
with APC connectors on the ends connected to the
link, and UPC connectors on the ends connected
to the testers. Connecting non-APC connectors to
the link will produce large reflections that affect
loss measurements.

Caution

Storage

Before storing the tester or an extra battery for an
extended period, charge the battery to between
70 % and 90 % of full charge. Check the battery every 4
months and recharge if necessary.
Keep a battery attached to the tester during storage.
Removing the battery for long periods shortens the life of
the internal lithium battery that maintains the clock.
See "Environmental and Regulatory Specifications" on
page 14-12 for storage temperatures.
