2. Do not disconnect the coupler from the black launch cable (it is circled in the
graphic).
3. Disconnect the white launch cable from the RX port of the OMNIFiber
adapter and the connector adapter (sleeve). Leave the two white connectors
dangling.
4. Attach the cable to be tested to the RX port on the OMNIScanner Fiber
adapter and the connector adapter (sleeve).
5. Press .
3.7 Running a Fiber Autotest
Some Autotests do not have a fixed loss limit. The Optical Link Budget (OLB) is
calculated based on the wavelength, the length of the cable, and the number of
connectors and splices.
OMNIScanner will automatically display the CONNECTIONS screen if you are
running an equation based Autotest (TIA 568A, ISO 11801, or 1000BASE-F).
1. With the Connections: field highlighted, press ENTER. Use the up-arrow or
down-arrow key to adjust the number of connections in your link. To
determine the total number of connections, simply count all of the
connections (connector pairs) on one fiber. OMNIScanner will assume that
both fibers of a duplex link have the same number of connections.
