Cleaning Connectors and Adapters Cleaning Connectors and Adapters Cleaning the Meter’s Connector Always clean and inspect fiber connectors before making connections. Use fiber optic solvent and optical-grade wipes or swabs to clean connectors as follows: 1 Remove the connector adapter to expose the photodiode lens (see Figure 4). 2 Use the method described in steps 1 and 2 above to dampen a swab with solvent.
SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual WCaution Cleaning Connector Ends 1 Touch the tip of a fiber optic solvent pen or swab soaked in solvent to a lint-free dry wipe or fiber cleaning card. 2 Wipe the connector end-face across the solvent spot, then back and forth once across the dry area of the wipe or card. Note Some connector styles, such as VF-45, may require a different cleaning method. Always cover unused connectors with protective caps.

SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual Measuring Optical Power Fiber link The power measurement shows the optical power level produced by a source such as an optical network interface card or optical test equipment. To measure power: 1 Clean the connectors on the link or source to be tested. Use fiber optic solvent and optical-grade wipes or swabs to clean connectors as described on page 15. 2 On the meter, press M until POWER appears (Figure 8.) 3 Make the connections shown in Figure 7.

SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual Using the Min/Max Function The Min/Max function shows the minimum and maximum power levels measured for each wavelength. To enable the Min/Max function: 1 On the meter, hold down M for 4 seconds to enter setup mode. 2 Press R D so that 3 Press M until POWER appears; then press M again to see the Min/Max measurements (Figure 9). appears.
Measuring Loss Measuring Loss About Referencing The loss measurement shows how much optical power is lost in a link’s fiber and connectors. The reference serves as the baseline power level for loss measurements. Regular referencing helps account for minor variations in source power and connection integrity. Also, since the reference is the baseline for measurements, the losses of the test reference cords and adapters used for referencing are excluded from test results.
SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual Notes To set the reference: 1 2 Clean the connectors on the meter, source, and a test reference cord. Use fiber optic solvent and opticalgrade wipes or swabs to clean connectors as described on page 15. Turn on the meter and source and let them warm up for 5 minutes. Allow additional time if the equipment has been stored above or below ambient temperature. 3 Make the connections shown Figure 10. 4 If the source’s AUTO LED is not on, press A.

E Pressing T SET REF saves the measured power level as the D E reference. F Pressing R SAVE saves the measurement.
Memory Functions If Loss is Negative Memory Functions A negative loss measurement means the reference power level is less than the measured power level. This can be caused by the following: The meter stores up to 1000 loss or power records. If memory is full, the meter shows when you try to save a measurement. • The fiber ends were dirty during referencing. • The connections to the source were disturbed after referencing. • The was a kink in a test reference cord during referencing.

Deleted records show for the measurement.
Memory Functions Uploading Records to a PC 1 Install the latest version of LinkWare software on your PC. 2 Turn on the meter. 3 Connect the meter to the PC with the USB cable provided, as shown in Figure 14. 4 Start LinkWare software on the PC. 5 Click Import on the LinkWare tool bar; then select SimpliFiber Pro. 6 Enter project information; then click OK. 7 Import all records from the meter or select records to import.

Appendix A: How to Test Your Test Reference Cords Why You Must Do this Test Equipment You Must Have To get accurate measurements of loss, you must use highquality test reference cords that are in good condition and comply with ISO/IEC 14763-3. Measurements of optical power loss are very much affected by the condition of the endfaces on the fiber connectors. Dirty endfaces and endfaces with damage are the most common causes of problems in fiber links.

One connector is SC. The other connector is the same as on the cords you will test.
Appendix A: How to Test Your Test Reference Cords 1 Clean and Inspect the Connectors 1-1 Test reference cords must have endfaces that are clean and have no damage. Always use correct procedures to clean endfaces. See page 15 or use the procedures given with your cleaning supplies. A B 1-2 After you clean an endface, use a fiber microscope to examine the endface. Figure A-2 shows examples of what you can see with a fiber microscope.

Or you may press Z to switch wavelengths as needed. 2-2 Make sure that the reference value is good: • For 50/125 µm fiber, the reference value must be better than -24.50 dBm (for example, -23.

Appendix B: Using Mandrels You should use mandrels when testing multimode fiber. Mandrels can improve measurement repeatability and consistency. They also allow the use of LED light sources to certify 50 µm and 62.5 µm fiber links for current and planned high bit-rate applications, such as Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Mandrels are available from Fluke Networks. WCaution Do not use mandrels when testing singlemode fiber. Figure B-1 shows how to wrap the fiber around a mandrel.

Appendix D: Loss Test Methods Introduction The number of fiber connections represented in loss test results depends on the reference and test connections. This appendix describes the three common methods: 1 Jumper, 2 Jumper, and 3 Jumper. Note See Appendix C for a cross-reference of the method names in various standards. This appendix also describes modified connections you can use if you do not have the correct connector adapters for the meter.
SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual 1 Jumper Method Results from the 1 jumper method account for the loss of two connections plus the fiber in the link. This method is suitable for testing premises fiber, where patch cords are typically used at both ends of the link and connector loss is a significant portion of the total loss. 1 jumper reference connections cancel out the effects of the test reference cords, as shown in Figure D-1.
Appendix D: Loss Test Methods Reference connections Fiber link Test connections ffl11.eps Figure D-1.
SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual 2 Jumper Method Results from the 2 jumper method account for the loss of one connection plus the fiber in the link. This method is suitable for links where the fiber's loss is a significant portion of the total loss, such as when the link is long or a patch cord is used at only one end. 2 jumper reference connections cancel out the effects of one connection and two test reference cords, as shown in Figure D-2.
Appendix D: Loss Test Methods Reference connections Fiber link Test connections ffl10.eps Figure D-2.
SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual 3 Jumper Method Results from the 3 jumper method account for the loss of only the fiber in the link. This method is suitable for testing links where the fiber's loss is the majority of the total loss, such as when the link is very long or patch cords are not used at either end. 3 jumper reference connections cancel out the effects of two connections and the test reference cords, as shown in Figure D-3. 62 The test connections add only the fiber in link.

SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits Users Manual Modified 1 Jumper Method This section describes modified reference and test connections that produce 1 jumper results. Use these connections if you need 1 jumper results but do not have connector adapters that match the connectors on the link. This method lets you connect to the link without disturbing the source’s output connections after setting the reference.
