10GBASE-LR, 25GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and
100GBASE-LR4 (VIAVI Part # CB-019965)
o Multimode LC Loopback plug or -LC Jumper Cable for
10GBASE-SR and 25GBASE-SR (VIAVI Part # CB-019967)
o 12-Fiber Multimode MPO Loopback plug for
40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4
(VIAVI Part # CB-MPOLB-12F)
• Fiber optic inspection microscope
(VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
• Fiber Optic Cleaning supplies
Information Requirements:
• BER Threshold
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
• Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe microscope to
inspect the jumper cable or loopback plug before
connection to the optical transceiver.
• Focus the fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean the connector.
• If it appears clean, run inspection test.
• If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection test.
Repeat until it passes.
