Connecting optical cables

Mounting test adapters
Viavi provides a number of test adapters for connecting
the OBS-500/550 to the interface to be tested.
You can connect all standard optical connector types to
the instrument using these adapters. The test adapters
are suitable for connectors with planar (PC) and angled
end surfaces (APC).
Contact your local Viavi Sales Company for available
adapter types.
To mount the JAE test adapter:
1. Open the head cover and remove the protecting cap
(if still mounted).
2. Place the test adapter vertically on the optical
connector with the locking lever open.
3. Close the locking lever when the test adapter is firmly
seated. You will hear the locking mechanism lock.
4. Repeat the procedure if the device is fitted with two
ports.
5. Fit the fiber optic cable to the test adapter or close the
head cover.
