Measuring Loss

Measuring Loss
The loss measurement shows how much optical power is lost in a link’s fiber and connectors.

About 1 Jumper Connections

The reference and test connections shown in this section produce 1 Jumper results. 1 Jumper results include the loss of the fiber plus the loss of the connections at both ends of the link. This is the most commonly used method for testing installed fiber links. Other methods are shown in Appendix D.
1 Jumper connections require connector adapters that match the connectors in the link under test. If you do not have the correct connector adapters, see Appendix D for alternative connections that produce 1 Jumper results.

Testing the Test Reference Cords

You must test your test reference cords at regular intervals. Use the procedure given in Appendix A.

About Referencing

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.
For the most accurate test results, you should set the reference at these times:
At the beginning of each day.
Anytime you reconnect a test reference cord to the source.
Anytime you see a negative loss measurement.

Setting the Reference

You may set the reference from power or loss mode. Fluke Networks recommends using power mode because the meter shows the actual power level produced by the source. In loss mode, the meter shows the difference between the power level and the previous reference level.
23
SimpliFiber Pro Meter and Test Kits

If Loss is Negative

A negative loss measurement means the reference power level is less than the measured power level. This can be caused by the following:
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.
The connectors were not properly aligned during referencing.
The meter and source were not set to the same wavelengths during referencing or testing.
The testers were much colder during referencing than during testing.
You did not allow enough time for the source to warm up before setting the reference.
You measured loss on a fiber that is shorter than the test reference cord used to set the reference.
If loss is negative, set the reference again and retest the

Appendix A: How to Test Your Test Reference Cords

Why You Must Do this Test

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.

When You Must Do this Test

Test your test reference cords at these times:
At the start of each day
When you move your equipment to a different area
When you change your equipment to test links that have a different type of connector
After you do the test given in this Appendix, use the procedure gi to monitor the condition of the cords.
ven with the procedures for certifying cabling

Equipment You Must Have

Figure A-1 shows the equipment you must have to test your test reference cords.
Caution
To do this procedure, you must have a fiber microscope. You cannot be sure that your cords are good unless you can examine the endfaces on the connectors. An endface that is dirty or has damage can give a good loss measurement, but can cause problems later. See Figure A-2.

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 13 or use the procedures given with your cleaning supplies.
Appendix A: How to Test Your Test Reference Cords
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.
AB
A clean endface that has no damage. This is the only condition that you can accept for a test reference cord.
Dirt that is not on the core does not change the loss measurement, but the dirt can move when you connect the fiber.
Figure A-2. Examples of Fiber Endfaces
CD
Dirt is on the core. Also, there are scratches that were caused by incorrect procedures for cleaning.
The cladding has damage. This does not change the loss measurement, but can cause damage to other endfaces.

2 Set the Reference
2-1
Set the reference as described on page 24.
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, -23.50 dBm is a better value)
For 62.5/125 μm fiber, the reference value must be better than -20.00 dBm (for example, -19.50 dBm is a better value)
For 9/125 μm fiber, 1310/1550 nm, the reference value must be better than -8.00 dBm (for example,
-7.50 dBm is a better value)
For 9/125 μm fiber, 1490/1625 nm, the reference value must be better than -4.00 dBm (for example,
-3.50 dBm is a better value)
If the value is not good, do the reference procedure again
with a differ
ent test reference cord.
3 Test the Cord in Both Directions
3-1
Disconnect the test reference cord from the meter (Figure A-3, ).
3-3
On the meter, press until LOSS appears.
3-4
If the source’s AUTO LED is not on, press .
3-5
If you want the source to automatically switch wavelengths, press until the wavelength LEDs blink alternately. Or you may press  to switch wavelengths as needed.
Note

3-6
Compare the loss measurement to these limits:
Multimode test reference cord: 0.10 dB or less
Singlemode test reference cord: 0.20 dB or less
If the connectors show no contamination or damage, but the not comply with ISO/IEC 14763-3. Do not use the cord as a test reference cord.
3-7
Connect the cord in the opposite direction (Figure A-3,
loss is higher than these limits, the cord does
), then repeat step 3-6.

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.
Caution
Do not use mandrels when testing singlemode fiber.

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-526­14A 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 “Modified 1 Jumper Method” on page 62.

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.
The test connections add one connection, plus the fiber in the link, to each path. Loss results for the 2 jumper method therefore represent only one connection plus the fiber in the link.
Because the results omit one connection, ANSI/TIA/EIA-526­14A and 526-7 do not recommend the 2 jumper method for testing premises fiber, where patch cords are typically used at both ends of a link and connector loss is a significant portion of total loss.

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.
The test connections add only the fiber in link. Loss results for the 3 jumper method therefore represent only the fiber in the link.
Because the results omit both connections in the link, ANSI/ TIA/EIA-526-14A and 526-7 do not recommend the 3 jumper method for testing premises fiber, where patch cords are typically used at both ends of the link and connector loss is a large portion of the total loss.
You can use this method to measure the loss of channels when the patch cords for equipment are already connected.
