single mode applications which includes both ORLM and OLTS functionality is available.

4.2.5  Measurement quality jumpers.  MQJs are required for connecting optical fiber cable assemblies or links to test equipment.  Typical MQJ configurations shall be in accordance with NAVSEA DWG 6877804.  Special MQJ configurations may be used with authorized approval.  Typical MQJ configurations are shown in tables I and II. MQJs used with optical power meters, stabilized light sources, optical loss test sets, and optical return loss meters shall have a minimum length of 1 m (3 ft).

MQJs used with an OTDR should be long enough (typically 50 meters (165 feet)) to compensate for the inability of the OTDR to make accurate measurements on short lengths [less than 50 m (165 feet)] of fiber.
