If you are installing low loss connectors those connectors may have a loss of ≤ 0 15 dB So testing it with a connector that has a loss greater than 0 15 dB will yield a pessimistic result More importantly if your link is an engineered link operating to custom test limits you could be failing a perfectly good link Another advantage is consistent and predictable results something
Micro duct cable is blown jetted into the micro duct Normally standard size fiber optic cables are pulled into innerduct sub ducts 1 Micro ducts can also be placed directly into larger telecommunications conduits or can be factory assembled into a composite unit of multiple micro ducts Table 1– Commonly Used Cable Types for Various OSP Applications Underground
