Page 4: Introduction
The LanTEK IV, FiberTEK IV and IDEAL AnyWARE Cloud features industry leading performance, reliability, durability and time saving functionality. FiberTEK IV adapters are used with LanTEK IV for fast and simple certification of high bandwidth single-mode and multimode fibre optic cabling including support for encircled flux testing (optional). -
Page 5: Getting Started
SC/ST/FC adapters are included with the FiberTEK IV modules, An optional LC kit is available which includes LC adapters for the Rx ports of the modules and SC-LC test cords for use on the Tx ports. -

Each method determines which components of the installed link are measured during the certification test. 1-Jumper Reference The 1-Jumper method includes the cable plus the connections on each side of the cable: 2-Jumper Reference The 2-Jumper method includes the cable plus the connection closest to the...
- Page 8 1 JUMPER | NORMAL MODE The 1 Jumper method is preferred by most cabling standards because it most accurately represents the signal loss experienced by the equipment during operation. When testing the loss of the 2nd test cord, the cable under test and the two connections of the cable under test are measured.
- Page 9 2 JUMPER | NORMAL MODE The 2 Jumper method excludes the loss of the 2nd test cord and one of the connections of the cable under test. The measured loss will be slightly under-reported compared to the 1 Jumper method. This method can be used when the connector type of the cable under test are not available on the test equipment and hybrid test cords are required.
- Page 10 3 JUMPER | NORMAL MODE (MODIFIED 2 JUMPER) The 3 Jumper method is preferred when hybrid test cords are required to interface with the cable under test. It is essentially the 2 Jumper method with a 3rd Jumper added after the reference is set to simulate the measurement loss of the 1 Jumper method.
- Page 11 1 JUMPER | LOOPBACK Loopback mode uses one FiberTEK module to test a single fibre when both ends are located at the handset. 1 Jumper reference measures the cable under test and the connections at both ends.

- Page 12 2 JUMPER | LOOPBACK Loopback mode uses one FiberTEK module to test a single fibre when both ends are located at the handset. 2 Jumper reference measures the cable under test and the loss from only one connection. The measured loss will be less than the 1 Jumper method. Fibre connector Orange test cord connected during...
- Page 13 3 JUMPER | LOOPBACK Loopback mode uses one FiberTEK module to test a single fibre when both ends are located at the handset. The 3 Jumper method is preferred when hybrid test cords are required to interface with the cable under test. It is essentially the 2 Jumper method with a 3rd Jumper added after the reference is set to simulate the measurement loss of the 1 Jumper method.

If Average or Poor is shown, follow the on- screen recommendations to improve performance. Clean the connectors of the reference cords and the FiberTEK IV modules, replace worn/damaged cords. Always use fibre optic specific cleaning products and 99% isopropanol/IPA, never use rubbing alcohol. - Page 15 CREATING A JOB To create a job, select JOBS from the menu bar and then select: Enter job name and if required, select the job identifiers (optional).

Page 17: Fibre Optic Test Limits
FIBRE OPTIC TEST LIMITS A test limit must be selected when adding fibre tests to a LanTEK IV Job. Four types of test limits are available; Cabling Standards, Applications, Manual Loss Budget and Calculated Loss Budget. CHOOSING A LIMIT TYPE Cabling Standards are limits defined by the same standards organisations that create limits for copper cabling, namely ISO/IEC, ANSI/TIA, CENELEC/ EN and others. - Page 18 LOSS BUDGET CALCULATOR Manual budget Budgets can be manually set when the allowable loss of the cabling is known. A common use for manual loss budgets is when a network designer supplies the maximum allowed loss to the installer or when the active equipment to be operated on the cabling has a known loss budget.
