Make necessary
measurements
Make necessary measurements to ensure a correct installation.
When the cable has been installed, the quality of the optical path should be checked
for optical path loss and magnitude and location of any reflections. This can be done
with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). The total return loss should be
> 45 dB.
Optical reflections can degrade the noise and linearity of a fibre optic link. In
particular, reflections that reach the laser can be a problem. Keep all discrete
reflections to > 60 dB. The SC/APC connectors are polished to a return loss >60 dB.
Attach the fibre
to the fibre optic
Note! Clean the fibre connector before it is connected, see instruction below.
