IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you do not exceed the
manufacturer bend radius guidelines for
the fiber being used.
6.
Measure the optical power exiting the fiber using an
optical power meter. The GPON fiber must have no
less than -25 dB of power.

Plug in the green SC/APC connector into the board as
shown. Make sure the connector is seated and secure.
NOTE: Make sure the fiber end is clean and free from
nicks or burrs.
