The Fluke Networks CertiFiber Pro Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) helps cabling professionals accomplish more than ever. It's all about accurate, error-free certification, making jobs easier to manage and certifying fiber optic cabling to industry standards, faster. CertiFiber Pro OLTS complies with all applicable cabling standards, which call out the new Encircled Flux launch condition requirements for optical sources. It's not just for the expert technicians and Project Managers. Individuals of various skill levels can improve the set-up, operation, test reporting, and simultaneously manage diverse projects.
Performance:
- Three-second Autotest optical loss measurement of two fibers at two wavelengths with distance measurement and optical loss budget calculation
- Provides automatic Pass/Fail analysis to industry standards or custom test limits
- Identifies incorrect test procedures resulting in negative loss readings
- Double ended Pass/Fail certification of fiber optic connector endfaces
- Graphical indication of problem areas on fiber endfaces due to contamination, pits, chips and scratches
- Interchangeable power meter adapters available for all typical connector types (SC, ST, LC and FC) to enable the most accurate 1-jumper reference method
- Built-in visual fault locator for basic troubleshooting and polarity determination
- Dual wavelength measurement capability on a single fiber allows the tester to be used in applications that require only one fiber link
- Compliant with TIA-526-14-B and IEC 61280-4-1 Encircled Flux requirements with no additional equipment or procedures
Standards:
- Allows combined OLTS Tier 1 (basic), OTDR Tier 2 (extended) certification, end-face inspection and reporting when paired with OptiFiber Pro OTDR
- Set reference wizard verifies test reference cords (TRCs) per ISO/IEC 14763-3 and eliminates negative loss errors
- Encircled Flux compliant optical launch conditions as required by ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC standards for testing multimode fiber
- Certify fiber optic endfaces to industry standards - IEC 61300-3-35
Detailed View of Fiber Results
View the results of each fiber tested at the same time and the Pass/Fail status on the test results screen. Easily identify the fiber type, test limits, loss and which fiber correlates to each result. All good results are highlighted with a green icon, any faulty events are highlighted with red icons and fibers are identified as output or input to facilitate quick identification and corrective action. The Taptive user interface also makes the results screen a powerful tool with a detailed window which can be touched to drill down and see detailed results.
The screen below shows margin and limit values in the window. Simply tap the screen to drill into specific results as shown in second image.
Double Ended Fiber Optic Endface Certification
Fiber optic connector end-face contamination is a leading cause of fiber failures. Dirt and contaminants cause insertion loss and back-reflection that inhibit optical transmission and causes havoc with transceivers. Fiber loss testing can expose this problem, but in many cases, dirty connections make fiber testing time consuming and inaccurate. Since dirt can be an issue before, during, or after fiber optic certification testing, and migrate from one fiber optic connector end-face to another upon mating, both sides of any connection must always be cleaned and inspected.
CertiFiber Pro provides double ended fiber optic inspection capability through the use of 2 Versiv Main units. One unit acts as the normal CertiFiber Pro main and the 2nd unit functions as a Remote unit. Using a Main unit as a Remote provides a touchscreen interface at the remote end giving you the ability to visually inspect fiber endfaces!
![Double_Ended]()
CertiFiber Pro's double ended fiber optic inspection capability allows you to inspect and certify fiber optic connector end-faces at both ends of your fiber link in less than a second so you can get your job done the first time. This double ended fiber optic inspection capability provides automated PASS/FAIL certification take the guess work out of fiber inspection so anyone can be a fiber expert.
Selecting Reference Method
The key to good test results is tester set-up. The CertiFiber Pro refers to the settings already chosen for the project and guides the technician through setting a reference - taking the guesswork out of getting ready to test in the field.
Set Reference
Setting a reference no longer has to be a challenge. The CertiFiber Pro OLTS has set a reference wizard function to guide the technician through setting a reference and checking test reference cords. The animated set-up helps reduce optical loss testing set- up errors that often result in confusing negative loss readings.
Create, Manage and Select Projects
As part of the Versiv family, the CertiFiber Pro OLTS incorporates ProjX to ease job set-up, minimize test limit errors and better manage multiple projects. Project managers and technicians can create new projects for different jobs, locations or customers and or easily define project requirements for each job ahead of time - including all tests parameters and cable IDs - then keep track of job progress. All project detail information is stored in LinkWare for easy transfer to other Versiv cabling certification testers.
The ProjX management system allows project specifications to be loaded and saved into the tester ahead of time. As the tester moves from job to job, the project list is easily accessible and users can quickly see detail data such as percentage of links tested, percentage to completion and percentage of results exported.
Dynamic Project and User Profile Management
CertiFiber Pro increases efficiency by allowing field technicians access to project based settings entered at the time of set-up. This minimizes set-up errors or lost files when switching from one job to another or utilizing multiple testers on a single job more. Setting limits and establishing cable ID sets is easy with the Taptive user interface. And once the technicians start testing, the progress of each project is easily monitored.
ProjX Management System specific benefits are: Real time status to completion on each job 0-100%, giving the operator the "Fix Later" option to isolate any test requiring a second look and helps to assure nothing is overlooked. The "Fix Later" selection creates a punch list or automatic "to do" list for correcting any workmanship issues.
Managing the testing of multiple jobs with multiple teams, testers, and requirements is time consuming and can be hard to manage. Increasingly larger jobs make project organization more important than ever. The new ProjX management system on the CertiFiber Pro assigns a name for all job specifics. This eliminates the need to ever have to re-enter test limits or other job details after starting a project or returning to it after a different job. This minimizes set-up errors or lost files when switching from one job to another or utilizing multiple testers on a single job, enabling project managers and crew leaders to be more efficient.
