scope:
Testing conducted on optical fiber cabling should be in
accordance with a published standard. This Telecommunications
Systems Bulletin (TSB) describes field-testing of length, optical
attenuation and polarity in optical fiber cabling using an optical
loss test set (OLTS), optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) and
a visible light source such as a visual fault locator (VFL). The
purpose of this document is to clarify, not replace,
ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-7 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-526-14A
Tier 1 criteria, unless otherwise instructed or requested, constitutes testing in accordance with this TSB.
