Applications
The following applications for the fiberTOOLS instruments are
【 【
described in this manual:
• Connector/cable insertion loss measurements
• Link loss measurements
One Test Jumper Method: Connector Loss
1. Connect an appropriate light source to the optical power meter
【 【
using a suitable reference cable with a length of about 2 to 3
meters (6 to 10 feet).
2. Ensure that the light source is in continuous wave (CW) output
mode. Set the optical power meter to the appropriate wavelength
(using the [ ] key) and to dBm units (using the [dB/dBm] key).

3. To store the reference level, press the [dB/dBm] key on the optical
power meter until the display reads 0.00 dB. See below.
