Multimode fibers should be tested in one direction at 850nm (the 10GBASE-SR operating window) and additionally at 1300nm both to account for fiber attenuation differences due to wavelength and to reveal potential issues associated with installation practice. This test will measure the loss of an installed fiber optic cable plant, singlemode or multimode, including the loss of all fiber, splices and connectors. The method shown is on the FOA "1 Page Standard" FOA1 which you may print or download and insert in your documentation. As the components like fiber, connectors, splices, LED or laser sources, detectors and receivers are being developed, testing confirms their performance specifications and helps. Before we get into our more technical variations, let's share an example of how to test your fiber optic connection is working with a tool every installer will have on hand: a flashlight! Testing newly installed fiber optic cables with a flashlight is a quick and simple method.
