Setting the Modal Bandwidth<br />

With multimo<strong>de</strong> fiber, the signal can be transmitted in different “mo<strong>de</strong>s.”<br />

The modal bandwidth is a measurement of the ability of the fiber cable<br />

to pass the signal without adding additional attenuation. Modal<br />

bandwidth is a rating given to the fiber. The fiber manufacturer should<br />

be able to tell what the modal bandwidth of their fiber is. You should<br />

then select the proper Modal Bandwidth in the <strong>WireScope</strong> <strong>350</strong> before<br />

running the test. To set the modal bandwidth for optical fiber<br />

certification:<br />

1 On the Fiber Autotest Settings screen, press Modal BW, then Edit.<br />

The Modal BW Setup screen displays.<br />

2 Choose the modal bandwidth and press OK. The Fiber Autotest<br />

Setup screen displays, with the chosen bandwidth next to Modal<br />

BW.<br />

Choosing the Connector Type<br />

Connectors of different types have different transmission<br />

characteristics. The <strong>WireScope</strong> <strong>350</strong> compensates for those differences, if<br />

you tell it what connectors are used on the job.
