CertiFiber Pro test reference cords

Introduction

Loss/length testing in accordance to ISO/IEC 14763-3:2014 requires the use of Test Reference Cords (TRC). TRC have less Insertion Loss (IL) in comparison to off the shelf patch cords. Furthermore, TRC and the 1-jumper reference should be used to ensure maximum test accuracy. The Fluke Network CertiFiber Pro optical loss test set (OLTS) comes with TRC and adapters required to properly test LC-to-LC fiber optic links.
