CertiFiber Kit, ICA - 8240-04

    CertiFiber takes the guesswork out of interpreting test results. The length and loss test results are automatically compared against a standard you selected. CertiFiber instantly provides a clear PASS or FAIL indication for each fiber. The margin (or headroom) between the test measurement and standards limit is also presented.

    You can certify your network to various industry standards. Select the appropriate standard from CertiFiber's built-in library. The library contains the most common standards including TIA-568, ISO 11801, 10BASE-X and 1000-BASE-SX and it allows you to create your own custom test standards.

    The transmitter ports of the main and remote CertiFiber units incorporate dual wavelength LED sources. Test both fibers at the multimode fiber transmission wavelengths of 850 nm and 1300 nm. Dual wavelength testing occurs automatically - no need to slow down to physically change transmitter adapters or manually toggle between wavelengths. CertiFiber auto-senses the transmitted wavelength, making testing even easier.

    Every CertiFiber kit includes a pair of main and remote units. Both units incorporate transmitter and detector ports. This unique configuration enables testing of two fibers in a single operation. This design is ideal for testing typical fiber links - a pair of Tx/Rx fibers. CertiFiber is also suitable for testing dual-fiber Small Form Factor connector systems.

    Utilizing CertiFiber's dual-fiber measurement method, when placed in bi-directional test mode, CertiFiber measures the fiber pair in one direction. It then prompts you to swap connections at the patch panel or outlet and proceeds to measure the fiber pair in the other direction. Unlike the traditional power meter and light source combination, you do not need to swap CertiFiber's main and remote test units, providing tremendous time-savings for each fiber link tested.

    CertiFiber also measures optical power and loss at 850 nm and 1300 nm and reference measurements are easy to perform. Simply connect the main and remote units, press the Set Reference button, and CertiFiber automatically measures and records the reference power for both fibers at both wavelengths.

    Fluke Networks' powerful LinkWare Software helps you quickly organize, edit, view, print, save, or archive test results by jobsite, customer, campus building, and more. You can merge test results into an existing database and then sort, search and organize by any number of data fields or parameters.

    CertiFiber measures fiber length using the "time of flight" technique where an optical pulse is launched into the fiber under test. The time that it takes for that pulse to return to its launch point is measured. This round-trip travel time is also called propagation delay.

    Since we know the speed of light in a fiber, it is simple to convert this time into a length measurement. The advantages of this length measurement technique include simplicity (no launch cables, no cursors to set) and accuracy, especially with short lengths (zero dead zone).
