Customize Test Limit - DTX Fiber Test Kit
If you select General Fiber Optic as your test limit, the loss limit is 4.5 dB. This is a default value. However, you will probably have calculated your own loss budget. If you know the link is 100 meters and there is only one mated connection at each end, the loss budget would be: Connector Loss = 0.75 dB Cable Loss @ 850 nm = 3.5 / 100 (assuming the fiber loss is 3.5 dB/km Connector Loss = 0.75 dB Total Loss Budget = 0.75 + .35 + 0.75 = 1.85 dB To change the limit in the DTX to 1.85 dB, you will need to create a custom Autotest.
Dont forget, in the SETUP the Remote End Setup option needs to be set as Far End Source. |
