TREND Networks R164061 – FiberTEK III LC MM Cable and Adapter Kit (Formerly IDEAL Networks)

TREND Networks R164061 – Cable and Adapter Kit LC MM 50/125µm

The multimode R164061 and single-mode R164062 accessory kits allow one-jumper calibration when testing cabling systems with LC connectors. The kits utilize a precision LC adapter for the receive (Rx) port of each FiberTEK III module and a SC-LC test cord for the transmit (Tx) port. One-jumper calibration recommended by most standards for field testing. Procedure is the same for MM and SM testing.

One-jumper Calibration

1. Choose desired test standard in LanTEK.
2. Collect 2 x LC-SC and 2 x LC-LC test cords. Clean and inspect each connector.
3. Attach LC end to Rx port and SC end to Tx port of each module.
4. Select Field Calibration from home screen.
5. Press 1 Jumper (F2) calibration mode.
6. Press Start (F1) icon to begin.

Bi-directional Test Step 1

1. Disconnect test cord from Rx port of each module. Do not disturb connector at Tx port.
2. Attach an LC-LC test cord to the Rx port of each module.
3. Connect test cords to cable under test after cleaning the connectors of cable under test.
4. Run Autotest.

Measured loss includes the connection at the end of the test cords, the cord on the Rx port and the cable under test.

Bi-directional Test Step 2

1. Reverse the test cord connections at both ends of the cable under test.
   • Do not remove the connections to the FiberTEK III adapters, this will void the calibration.
2. Press Continue (F1) to resume the test. The results for both fibers in each direction will be displayed at test completion.
