Measuring Cabling Loss

Loss measurements are performed to certify a cabling link meets certain

criteria for attenuation. Loss (dB) can be manually calculated by subtracting

the power (dBm) through the cabling under test from the power (dBm) of the

light source when connected directly to the meter. To make this process easier

FiberMASTER includes a calibration function that stores the light source power

level and compares it to future readings and directly displays loss in dB on the

LCD panel.

1. With the dust cap on the power meter, press

the power button. The meter will display ‘null’,

indicating that it is ready to measure and

is currently receiving no power. Press the

wavelength ‘λ’ button to change to the desired

wavelength.

2. Set the light source to the desired wavelength.

3. Remove the dust cap and connect the

reference jumpers between the power meter

and light source. The meter will display the

current power dBm from the light source.

4. Press the ‘dB/Cal’ button on the power meter

to store the current value into memory. The

display will now indicate 0.00dB.

5. Remove the coupler from the two reference

jumpers, connect to the cabling under test and

begin making measurements. The display will

indicate the attenuation (dB) compared to the

initial calibration power (dBm).

See diagrams on the following page.

Do not disconnect the reference jumper from the

light source after calibrating the test set. Doing so

will cause inaccuracies and requires recalibration.
