Choosing the Labeling Format
Choosing the Cable Type
4−16
The labeling format for fiber testing is the same as that previously
described in Chapter 3, Certifying Copper Cabling. See Choosing the
Labeling Format, on page 3-6 for more information.
Cable from different manufacturers has different transmission
characteristics. The WireScope 350 compensates for those differences if
you tell it what cable is used on the job. The color of the cable spool icon
indicates multimode (orange) or singlemode (yellow) fiber.
1 On the Fiber Autotest Settings screen, press the spool icon, then
press Edit. The Cable Setup screen displays.
2 Select the cable manufacturer, and press Next. The Cable Database
screen displays.
3 Select a cable on the list, and press OK. The Fiber Autotest Setup
screen displays, with the selected cable type next to the cable spool
icon. If you do not see the cable on the list, see the next section.
Adding a new cable type
If you have a cable which is not in the cable database, you can add a new
cable description to the database.
1 If the manufacturer is not present, leave the manufacturer as
Unspecified. If the manufacturer is present on the list, select it, then
press Next. The Cable Database screen is displayed. In either case,
you will be offered stored descriptions of cable types. If one of the
stored descriptions matches the cable being tested, select it, then
press OK.
2 If not, highlight Add New Description, and press Next.
3 Enter the name to be added to the database and press Next.
