Test Ports and Interfaces

OTDR testing: The optical fiber under test is connected to either the OTDR or OTDR-AUX
(Filtered SM or MM) port on the top panel. The type of the optical fiber connector must
correspond to the OTDR connector or adaptor type, including the connector polish.
Optical Power Meter (OPM) testing: The optical fiber is connected to the OPM port on the
top panel. Depending on fiber connector type, use interchangeable adaptors. FC, SC, ST or
LC type are supplied standard.
Visual Fault Locator ((VFL) testing: The optical fiber is connected to the VFL port on the top
panel. The VFL interface is fitted with universal 2.5mm sleeve accepting all 2.5 mm connector
ferrules. 2.5mm to 1.25mm coverter is available.
Optical Connections
The optical fiber connector must be cleaned prior to connecting to the fiber under
test. Dust and dirt severely impact optical performance. For more information on
