Macrobends Macrobends can be displayed in the
link view when more than one
wavelength is present in the
measurement.
Note: The macrobend will
always be displayed
as a failed element.
Out of Range The out of range element is
displayed when the end of fiber
could not be detected by the
module because of not enough
dynamic range.
Splitter The splitter is a passive fiber optic
coupler that divides light from a
single fiber into two or more fiber
channels. The splitter ratio is
displayed beside the icon.
2:N Splitter 2:N splitter can be used to create
network redundancy. If a network
break occurs, the operator can
connect through the other network
branch.
Splice The splice can indicate the junction
of two fiber sections, the presence
of a macrobend, or a microbend in
the fiber.
Connector The connector is used to join two
fibers.
