Introduction

Loss and length testing in accordance to ISO/IEC 14763-3 requires the use of test reference cords. Test reference cords have a much lower insertion loss in comparison to off the shelf patch cords. Furthermore, test reference cords 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 all accesories needed to test LC-to-LC fiber optic links.
