LSMM Notes On Testing TESTING NOTES Singlemode fibers usually have either blue (UPC) or green (APC) connectors. The DLS 350 LED source is made for multimode testing, so neither blue nor green connectors are Singlemode fibers usually have either blue (UPC) or green (APC) connectors. The LSMM LED source is made appropriate.
