How to measure optical loss in LC pigtail fiber optic cables

How to measure optical loss in LC pigtail fiber optic cables

The most fundamental acceptance test for any fiber optic cable is an insertion loss measurement using a light source and power meter: Connect the light source to one end of the link. Connect the power meter to the far end. Ensure it supports the correct wavelength (850nm for multimode fiber, 1310nm or 1550nm. Insertion loss is usually shortened to IL, and the unit of measurement for insertion loss is dBm. [pdf]
