An OPM optical port must be equipped with an adapter cap. A variety of adapter caps, connector adapters, and test jumpers with a variety of lengths and connector styles are available from AFL - NOYES. Optical ports and connector end faces must be kept free from dirt or other contaminates to ensure accurate measurements and operation.

Measuring Optical Power It is important to keep all optical connections and surfaces free from dirt, oils, or other contaminants to ensure proper operation. Always clean all test jumpers before conducting the test procedures outlined in this Guide (see Section 5: “Maintenance” for details). To Measure Optical Power 1.
Testing Multimode Links Step I - Set the Reference (One Jumper Method) 1. Turn on the OPM optical power meter and OLS optical light source. Allow the light source to stabilize (minimum of 2 minutes). 2. If not using the WAVE ID feature, set both instruments to the desired test wavelength. 3.
Page 31
Testing Multimode Links Step II - Verify Test Jumpers 10. Disconnect the transmit jumper from the OPM. Do not disturb the transmit jumper at the OLS end! 11. If necessary, change the OPM adapter cap to match the connector on the receive jumper that will be connected to the OPM.
Page 32
Testing Multimode Links Step III - Measure Multimode Link Insertion Loss 17. Connect the free ends of the transmit and receive jumpers to the multimode link under test. Clean jumper end that connects to patch panel prior to every test! 18.
Testing Single-mode Links Step I - Set the Reference (One Jumper Method) 1. Turn on the OPM optical power meter and OLS optical light source. Allow the light source to stabilize (minimum of 2 minutes). 2. If not using the WAVE ID feature, set both instruments to the desired test wavelength. 3.

Testing Single-mode Links Step II - Verify Test Jumpers 10. Disconnect the transmit jumper from the OPM. Do not disturb the transmit jumper at the OLS end! 11. If necessary, change the OPM adapter cap to match the connector on the receive jumper that will be connected to the OPM.
Page 35
Testing Single-mode Links Step III - Measure Single-mode Link Insertion Loss 17. Connect the free ends of the transmit and receive jumpers to the single-mode link under test. Clean jumper end that connects to patch panel prior to every test! 18.
Cleaning OPM Optical Ports 1. Unscrew the adapter cap from the adapter cap mount. 2. Use lint-free optical cleaning wipes such as AFL FiberWipes and optical quality cleaning fluid such as AFL FCC2 connector cleaning fluid. Note: if using isopropyl alcohol (IPA), be sure to use 99% pure IPA that has not been contaminated.
• Place the damp tip over the ferrule to be cleaned. • Rotate the tip clockwise 10 revolutions while applying varying pressure to create a gentle pumping action where the tip contacts the ferrule. • Discard the CCTP stick after using both tips. using lint-free optical cleaning pads and isopropyl alcohol •...
