CertiFiber Pro custom test limit
Introduction
Length/loss limits to be used with ISO/IEC14763-3:2014 (Information technology -- Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling -- Part 3: Testing of optical fibre cabling) are no longer adequate to evaluate the quality of a recent installed fiber optic infrastructure as they are too relaxed.
Solution
We recommend this custom limit during length/loss testing. End-users could set Maximum Length and Maximum Overall Loss in accordance with the application limit. For example, if the link is OM3 multimode fiber and the application is IEEE 10GBASE-SR, these values would be respectively 300m and 2,60dB (@ 850 nm). More information is available during the Certified Cabling Test Training module VERSIVFO.
