All Optical Fibres, including Pre-Terminated Optical Fibres shall be CLEANED after
installation and tested as a LINK for:
1) Visual inspection of all ends
Recommended
2) Continuity and Maintenance of Polarity
Required
3) Length
Required
4) Propagation Delay
Required
5) Optical Attenuation of Link: 2 x wavelengths
Required (See Item 16)
[OF LINKS and CHANNELS both include the 2 x end connectors when testing.]
Length is verified by recording the cable length markings at each end and
subtracting one from the other, or by reading the length off a tester.
Wavelengths and Test Direction for Power Loss (Insertion Loss) tests must be
both wavelengths and in both directions for 1/10GBE applications (See Item 16).
This will check for any connector or splice defects, any cracked connectors, any
accidental splicing or connecting of 50 m onto 62.5 m fibres.
Power Loss (or Insertion Loss or Optical Attenuation) tests can be done using
either,
Light Source & Power Meter
(LSPM), or
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
(OTDR)
See Item 16.
If conflict exists, testing using LSPM shall be taken as correct.
Where LSPM results exceed the Power Loss Budget, the link should be
investigated with an OTDR to determine the faulty component.
Reference Setting (Zeroing) Methods for LSPM Testers on MMF and SMF
Are the connectors on the LSPM tester the same as the connectors on the Link to
be tested?
YES Use the 1-Test Cord Method of Reference Setting (Method -B)
(Eg. SC on tester and SC on both ends of Link)
NO

(Not the lowest reading, and not an average reading of both directions for LSPM
testing)
Some installers choose to use only OTDR testing and not do LSPM testing. If this
is done, ADC KRONE will only accept the results if the average highest OTDR
reading from both directions is calculated and written into an electronic record of
results along with the PLB.
For MMF and SMF Links that have known connectors and are not for 1/10GBE, test
at;
Both wavelengths, in just 1 x direction using LSPM with Launch & Tail Cords.

2 x wavelengths, both in 2 x directions, AND ALSO

For Links over 300m long,
It is an ADC KRONE
requirement.
2 x wavelengths, both in 2 x directions, using OTDR with launch and
tail cords.
For OTDR tests, the single reported Test Result at each wavelength shall be the
average of the highest readings from both directions.
{Ref ISO/IEC
14763-3 Cl 9.1.2.4}
[Because the scattering coefficients are usually different between launch cord, cable under test, and
tail cord, the test results will be different when tested in different directions. So the readings are to
be averaged for OTDR testing.]

Reading OTDR Results for Length and Power Loss
Length of cabling under test = {1} {3} metres (This applies to both Link or
Channel)
For a Link, the 2 x end connectors are included in the Link Loss, so
Link Power Loss
= {1} {4} dB
For a Channel, the 2 x end connectors are also included in the Channel Loss, so
Channel Power Loss
= {1} {4} dB

Set Up for Fluke DTX and DSP Series with Fibre Test Head as an LSPM
Tester
The Fluke DTX and DSP 4xxx with FTA 410 or 420 Fibre Test Heads is a Light
Source and Power Meter (LSPM) tester and is set up as follows for an ADC KRONE
Warranted site.
For SC connectors, set the Zero Reference Setting using the appropriate method
B as set out on pages B-1 to B-3.

Note 1
When setting up the LSPM tester, the Number of Adaptors is the number of
(extra) adaptors ADDED AFTER REFERENCE SETTING regardless of which reference
method is used.
The 1-test cord Method B uses 0 adaptors during reference settings and 2
adaptors when testing; therefore set the (extra) number of adaptors 2.
The 3-test cord Method C uses 2 adaptors during reference settings and 2
adaptors when testing; therefore set the (extra) number of adaptors 0.
The latest software for Test Standard ISO/IEC 14763-3 already has correct adaptor
loss values included for the 1-Test cord and 3-Test Cord methods. So set DTX
tester to ISO/IEC 14763-3.
When Bi-Directional testing, the test stops way through and prompts to swap
the fiber connections.
