or greater
▪ 4100 Series OTDR Module
▪ Software options for FTTA OTDR and
SmartLink Mapper (SLM) icon-based
OTDR results
▪ Fiber optic cleaning and inspection tools
► 20-meter fiber optic patch cable (Launch
Cable) with connectors that match the OTDR
Port and Fiber Under Test (SC UPC, SC APC,
LC UPC, etc.)
► Optical Coupler to connect Launch Cable to
BBU Jumper Cable or Trunk Cable
► Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe
microscope to inspect both sides of every
connection being used (OCC Port, Launch
