Measurement using a mode conditioner
To perform an Insertion Loss measurement with a Source that is compliant to IEC
61280-4-1 Ed2 Standard on encircled flux, it is recommended to use a mode conditioner
after the OTDR Source port.
Once the Source on T-BERD/MTS or SmartOTDR (1) and the Powermeter on T-BERD/
MTS or SmartOTDR (2) are referenced in loopback or side-by-side mode:
1
Connect the Multimode source (1) to the mode conditioner
2
Connect the Powermeter port (2) to the jumper
3
Connect extremities of the mode conditioner and jumper to the fiber under test
using the appropriate method (ex. keying mechanism for FC/PC types).
