Custom connector loss with the DTX-EFM2 fiber adapter

Many specifiers hold installers to a higher standard than the approved cabling standards. It's not uncommon to see a fiber test specification with a connector loss of 0,5 dB instead of 0,75 dB. No se preocupe. The DTX CableAnalyzer can handle that. You just need to create a custom test limit.

If you are able to view YouTube, we have a video that will run you through the procedure.
