Precautions To Take
CAUTION:
Never look directly into the output ports of the Light Source
or the ends of a fiber optic connector. The light may not
always be visible, but can still cause damage to the eye. It is
the responsibility of the user to ensure their eyes and the eyes
of those around them are not exposed to light emitted from
the Light Source or the optical connectors.
IMPORTANT:
Keep all optical ends clean to avoid poor insertion loss read-
ings and also to prevent contamination of the optical ports and
detectors on the test units. Use isopropyl alcohol, lint free
wipes, and filtered compressed gas to clean dirty connector
ends. Always replace the protective dust caps onto the optical
ports when not in use.

Function Definitions and Descriptions
V-Pin Connectors Pictured.
*Parts Vary by Test Set Connector Type and Size.

Device Under Test
The connectorized cable assembly being tested.
Light Source
Emits light at both 660 nm and 850 nm wavelengths.
Power Meter
Also known as a Detector, the device with a window display
showing dB loss.
Launch Jumper
A “golden” reference jumper assembly of known good qual-
ity. OFS launch jumpers are available with an ST connector
on one end for compatibility with the Light Source, and vari-
ous connectors on the opposite end depending on what type of
connectors the device under test is terminated with. The fiber
type of the launch jumper must be the same as the fiber type
of the device under test. See “Related Products and Accesso-
ries” section for available launch jumper types.
Adapter Cap
Screws onto detector head of Power Meter to allow for mat-
ing of connector to Power Meter. See “Related Products and
Accessories” section for available styles. Style of adapter cap
should match the connector type of the device under test.
Splice Bushing
Also often referred to as a mating adapter. Allows mating
of two connectors. Style of splice bushing should match the
connector type of the device under test. See “Related Prod-
ucts and Accessories” section for available splice bushings.
