Referencing and running a test with 24 fiber
cabling
24 fiber cabling can be referenced and tested in two steps with
12 fibers at a time by using the optional available Y-adapters.
Please note that the measurement of the 12 fibers must always
follow directly after referencing. Since the procedures for
referencing and testing are identical to 12 fiber cabling, this
section only describes how to connect the Y-adapters and to
perform the referencing measurement procedure.
NOTE:
For 24 fiber cabling always select the test reference method
“3-cord”.
