Table 17. Custom Test Limit Settings for Loss/Length Tests
Setting Description
Length Enter a maximum length for the link.
Loss Budget Fixed : The tester compares the loss of the link to a
fixed value to give a PASS or FAIL result for the loss
test. You enter maximum values of Overall Loss for
each applicable wavelength under Wavelength
specific settings
.
Length Based : The tester uses values you enter for
Connector , Splice, and Loss/km and the measured
length of the link to calculate a limit for the loss test.
Loss Type
(for Length Based
Loss Budget
only)
Connector : Select this if the link uses standard
connectors, such as SC, LC, ST, or FC connectors.
For the Connection Loss (dB), enter the maximum loss
for one connection.
MPO Module
: Select this if the link uses MPO
modules. Connection Loss (dB) changes to MPO
Module Loss (dB)
.
For MPO Module Loss (dB), enter the maximum loss
for one MPO module.
Splice Loss
(for Length Based
Loss Budget
only)
Enter a maximum value for the loss of one splice.
Wavelength
specific settings For a fixed loss budget, enter maximum values of
Overall Loss
for a link for each applicable
wavelength.
For a length-based loss budget, enter maximum
values of Loss/km for the fiber type for each
applicable wavelength.
