Page 11: Section 1: General Information
Section 1 Section 1: General Information Thank you for purchasing a Noyes TURBOTEST 500B Optical Loss Test Set. This instrument has been designed specifically for testing high fiber count cable commonly found in Telco or Broadband systems. The purpose of this User’s Guide is to explain how to use and maintain this instrument. Please check our web site at www.AFLtele.com/go/Noyes for updates to this manual, software updates, and additional application information. -
Page 12: Feature Overview
TURBOTEST 500B User’s Guide Feature Overview High-speed transmission systems employ laser sources with narrow bandwidths, which are sensitive to back-reflections caused by components, splices, and connectors. If too much light is reflected back to the laser transmitter, the modulation characteristics and spectrum of the laser may change. This change will degrade the systems performance. - Page 13 Section 1 a fabric-covered or foam-covered stick, we are offering a molded cleaning tip that will trap contamination and wick cleaning solvents from bulkhead connectors. This new cleaning tip is a molded, sintered polymer that is both porous and pliable conforming to virtually any fiber end-face polish geometry while trapping and absorbing contaminants.
