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.
Loss results for the1 jumper method therefore represent
both connections plus the fiber in the link. ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-
14A and 526-7 specify the1 jumper method for testing
multimode and singlemode premises fiber, where connector
loss is a significant portion of the total loss.
Note
To get 1 jumper results when you do not have the
correct connector adapters for the meter, see
