Test Equipment; Tools - HP 27115A Installation Manual

Test Equipment
Test equipment may be required to test the fiber-optic cable, both before and
after installation.
This
equipment must be able to connect with the 90S-type
SMA
connectors on the cable ends. The following equipment can be used:
• Optical power meter,
for example, Photodyne ModeluXE*
• Optical power source,
for example, Photodyne ModeI8XE-B*
• 905/906 series SMA adapter,
for example, Photodyne Model 2003*
Refer to your supplier's catalog for various options and accessories available.
A
single-fiber loopback cable
allows convenient troubleshooting of HP-FL
subsystem components. Option #002 to the product provides a short,
single-fiber cable for this purpose (this cable is available as part number
HFBR-3020). Alternatively, one of the fibers on a duplex cable can be used for
loopback testing if both ends of the fiber are available for connection to the HP
27115ApCA.
Tools
Installation or routing the cable may require assembly, disassembly, or
adjustment of a strain-relief ferrule on the fiber-optic cable. Two screws secure
the ferrule to the cable, and will require the use of a O-point Pozidriv or Phillips
screwdriver. See figure 2-5 and the accompanying text for details about the
strain-relief ferrule.
Note
The decision to repair a fiber-optic cable depends on the availability and cost of
a replacement cable. The repair will take a trained technician about two hours
with the required tools and parts. Test the cable after the repair. See chapter
3
for details.
