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
