Multifunction Loss Tester 29
6 Measuring Optical Return Loss
Optical return loss (ORL) is the total effect of multiple reflections and
scattering events within a fiber-optic system.
The FTB-3930 Multifunction Loss Tester is equipped with an ORL meter to
measure ORL for singlemode fibers. The ORL meter uses the F
ASTEST SM
(singlemode) port only.
The following functions are available on your ORL meter:
