Testing Your Reference Test Cords and
Launch Fiber
You should test your reference test cords and launch fiber
before each job. Use another set of known-good cords to
set a reference and run an Autotest on each patch cord and
launch fiber. Use Smart Remote mode to test two cords at a
time, or Loopback mode to test one cord.
You should also use a fiber microscope, such as the
FiberInspector video probe, to inspect the reference test
cord and launch fiber connectors for damage at least once a
day.
