Specifications
The Specification describe the performance features guaranteed for the following products as measured with a typical
PC-type connectors.
Deviations because of refractive index of fibres have not been taken into consideration. Performance on 50/125
multimode fibre will differ from that shown. The 3M 2000 OTDR is produced to the international ISO 9001
