The following information is required to complete the test:
• Type of Connectors (SC UPC, SC APC, LC UPC, etc.)
• Distance unit (feet, meters, miles, kilometers)
• LOCATION: FTTH OTDR testing must be done from ONT to OLT direction. It can be either the
Second Splitter, NAP or at the Customer Premise (ONT Location)
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
Inspect and clean (if necessary) both sides of every connection being used (bulkhead connectors, patch
cords, and OTDR port) prior to reconnection for each test. Using the P5000i or FiberChek Probe:
• Focus fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean the connector.
• If it appears clean, run inspection test.
• If it fails, clean fiber and re-run inspection test. Repeat until it passes.
