Connect to Fiber Under Test (FUT):
The Launch Cable may be connected to the FUT
via an optical patch panel (OPP) or an optical
coupler:
1. If the interface to the FUT is a patch cord,
connect the patch cord to an optical coupler with
the same connector type.
2. Inspect the FUT connected to the coupler or
OPP.
3. Inspect the other fiber end face of the Launch
Cable.
4.
Connect the Launch Cable to the coupler or OPP.
Run Test:
1. Tap
to start the test. After auto-
configuration, the OTDR will perform a
connection check to ensure that the connection
is Good. If the Connection is Bad, disconnect the
launch cable, repeat steps 1 through 3 on page 1,
and repeat steps 1 through 4 above on page 3,
ensuring all fiber end faces are clean.
2.

which all events are acceptable are marked
with a green check
events that exceed pass/fail thresholds for
loss or reflectance are marked with a red
The lower display (Alarms) shows each event
