1 Testing and Inspection of
fiber optic cables from FSK
CCR
Description
Visual check and assessment to current system and devices on CCR:
 Devices operational status.
 Cabling availability, installation and termination.
 Power requirement and availability of adapters.
  Interconnections availability.
 Labeling and tagging.
 If any missing cables and/or connections.
 To inspect all cables for power, data and earthing.
 All inspection and commissioning works will be coordinated with DNO
System Engineer and Sys. Technician.

Testing of Fibre Optic Cables

 This test will be carried out to trace and/or measure the loss of an
installed fibre optic cable, single mode or multimode, including the
loss of all fibre, splices and connectors.
 To inspect continuity from FSK CCR
 A visible laser source will be connected to one end of the cable verify the
transmission to the opposite end.
 determine whether the right fiber optic cable is connected to the right
patch panel location.
 ensure light passes from fiber to fiber without excessive loss or back
reflections.
 Laser will be applied at one end and continuity test will be undertaken on
the next one.

Test Procedure
 Turn on OTDR and allow time to warm-up
 Clean all connectors and mating adapters.
 Attach launch cable to OTDR. Attach receive cable (if used) to far
end of cable.
 Set up test parameters on OTDR.
 Attach cable to test to end of launch cable. Attach receive cable (if
used) to far end of cable.
 Acquire trace.

Testing shall include the following:

 Link loss measurements
 Fibre Attenuation (dB/KM)
 Splice and connector loss
 Reflectance and optical return loss measurements
 Length measurement
 Inspection of network devices’ installation.

All test results shall be documented:

 Testing organisation details.
 Date, time and location of test.
 Description of equipment tested.
 Description of test equipment used to include calibration dates.
