- Page 5 – In Fiber ID mode: displays loss and Fiber ID if detected or “- - -” if no signal. – In standard power meter mode: displays wavelength and loss or power measurements. Optical Port - accepts AFL’s thread-on adapter cap.
- Page 6 Safety Caution: To avoid serious eye injury, never look directly into the optical outputs of fiber optic network equipment, test equipment, patch cords, or test jumpers. Always assume that optical outputs are on. Precautions It is important that the precautions given below be followed to ensure operating efficiency and to prevent inducing excessive signal loss during testing.
- Page 7 Ensuring the MFI Proper Plunger Position It is very important to properly position the MFI plunger for testing 250 & 900 µm coated and ribbon fibers. Remove the plunger cover and observe the plunger position. • Make sure the plunger is oriented correctly for the type of fiber to be tested. •...

Alternatively the • MFI may be activated by pulling down the trigger. An audible tone generator will “beep”...
- Page 9 Identifying a Specific Fiber with MFT and MFI During network installation, verification, and routing it is often necessary to verify and reinstall mislabled fibers or repair broken links. When used in conjunction with an MFT, an MFI will detect if the fiber under test carry a signal emitted from MFT.
- Page 10 Identifying a Specific Fiber with MFP When used in conjunction with an MFT, an MFP will detect if the fiber under test carry a signal emitted from MFT. An MFP will also display the Fiber ID and loss of the fiber under test.
- Page 11 Measuring Optical Power with MFP It is important to keep all optical connections and surfaces clean to ensure accurate measurements and operation. Always clean all test jumpers before conducting tests. 1. Turn On the MFP and verify that it is in regular test mode. If MFP is in the Fiber ID mode, press the Fiber ID button to switch to the regular power meter mode.
- Page 12 Testing Multimode or Single-mode Links with MFP Step I - Set the Reference (One Jumper Method) 1. Turn on MFP and verify that it is in regular power meter test mode. Turn on OLS and allow it to stabilize (minimum of 2 minutes). 2.
- Page 13 13. Verify that the insertion loss of this mated connector pair is under 0.75 dB - maximum allowed by TIA (AFL recommends 0.4 - 0.5 dB typical): – Observe the displayed value - insertion loss of the test jumpers in [dB].
- Page 14 Testing Multimode or Single-mode Links Step III - Measure Multimode Link Insertion Loss 16. Connect free ends of transmit and receive jumpers to the link under test. Clean jumper end that connects to patch panel prior to every test! 17. MFP will measure and display the insertion loss of the link under test. 18.
