View source for CertiFiber Pro custom test limit

== Introduction ==

The limits stipulated in ISO1801 are not longer usable to evaluate the quality of a recently installed fiber optic link.&nbsp; They are too relaxed.&nbsp;&nbsp;

These values are not applicable when testing links containing MPO connectors.

&nbsp;

== Solution ==

We recommend the use of this&nbsp;custom limit&nbsp;for length/loss testing. More context will be given during the Certified Cabling Test Training module VERSIVFO.
