The OTDR comes with an ST or FC
adapter on the output, the adaptors are not interchangeable.
The solution to test other types
of cables that are not ST or FC is simple;
you should always use a launch cable or pulse suppressor cable
when using the OTDR, just make sure that one end of the cable is
the connector style of the OTDR output and the
other end the connector style of the cable that the customer is
going to test.
A second solution is to use a bulkhead on the FUT (Fiber Under
Test) side that is hybrid, for example FC to SC. |
