10GBASE-LR, 25GBASE-LR, 40GBASE-LR4, and
100GBASE-LR4 (VIAVI Part # CB-019965)
oMultimode LC Loopback plug or -LC Jumper Cable for
10GBASE-SR and 25GBASE-SR (VIAVI Part # CB-019967)
o12-Fiber Multimode MPO Loopback plug for
40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4
(VIAVI Part # CB-MPOLB-12F)
•Fiber optic inspection microscope
(VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe)
•Fiber Optic Cleaning supplies
Information Requirements:
•BER Threshold
Figure 1: Equipment Requirements
Fiber Inspection Guidelines:
•Use the VIAVI P5000i or FiberChek Probe microscope to
inspect the jumper cable or loopback plug before
connection to the optical transceiver.
•Focus the fiber on the screen. If dirty, clean the connector.
•If it appears clean, run inspection test.
•If it fails, clean the fiber and re-run inspection test.
Repeat until it passes.

Connect Optics Under Test:
1. Insert optics under test into the Port 1 slot on the top of T-BERD/MTS 5800.
2. After inspecting the fiber end faces, connect the Tx and Rx ports using an LC-LC jumper cable or loopback
plug.
Launch Test:
1. Press the Power button to turn on the
test set.
2. Using the Select Test menu, Quick Launch
menu, or Job Manager, launch an Ethernet
10GigE LAN, 25GigE, 40GigE or 100GigE, P1
Optics Self-Test; for example:
Ethernet►100GigE►P1 Optics Self-Test.
3. Tap the bottom button to Start a
New Configuration.

Configure Test:
1. Choose the Test Duration. Recommended is
the suggested setting. Duration will be
calculated based on the Line Rate and BER
Threshold.
2. Select the BER Threshold. Lower values
increase the Recommended test duration.
3. Check Enable the PPM Line Offset box.
4. The default value for PPM Max Offset is
+/- 100 and is the recommended value.
5. Check the Stop on Error box if you don’t want
the test to continue in case of failure.
6. Tap to proceed to the
Report Information screen.
