  • Page 25: Mandrels For Multimode Transmit Jumpers

    Mandrels for Multimode Transmit Jumpers When testing multimode links using an overfilled LED source, always wrap the transmit jumper five (5) times around the proper diameter mandrel. This is specified by TIA/EIA-568-B and will improve insertion loss measurement repeatability and accuracy. Do NOT use mandrels on multimode receive jumpers or single-mode jumpers.
