Title: Demonstrate the use of optical loss measurement equipment.
Course: Telecommunications II (1006-II) > Section: Working with Fiber-Optic Cables

Demonstration should follow manufacturer specifications and ensure optimal effectiveness of fiber cabling using

- light source/power meter (LSPM)
- optical loss test set (OLTS)
- optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR)
- visual fault locator
- microscope.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are intrinsic and extrinsic attenuations in optical systems?
- What is the difference between modal and chromatic dispersion?
- What types of dispersion result from light traveling at different angles?
- What is the difference between insertion and return loss?
