Introducing the MultiFiber™ Pro Optical Power Meter and Fiber Test Kits. MultiFiber™ Pro is the only fiber tester that can test MPO fiber trunks without the use of a fan-out cord, it eliminates the complexity of polarity issues, and it makes cassettes easier to test in the field. Whether it is using 10 Gbps pre-terminated fiber trunks or planning for next-generation 40/100 Gbps performance, data centers are standardizing on an MPO connector solution. Typical data center fiber installation means time-consuming, manual and imprecise MPO validation. MultiFiber™ Pro is 90 percent faster than the single fiber testing method because it measures power loss and validates polarity on 12 fibers in a single connector— reducing test time from weeks to days.
Features
The Scan All function in the MultiFiber Pro Power Meter automatically scans and tests all 12 fibers in MPO connectors - taking just 6 seconds to complete all loss or power measurements. This feature automates the testing of MPO terminated fibers and eliminates the time consuming and manual process of moving the fiber tester from fiber to fiber while using fan-out cords.
The simple purpose of any polarity scheme is to provide a continuous connection from the link's transmitter to the link's receiver. For array connectors, TIA-568-C.0 defines three methods to accomplish this: Methods A, B and C. Deployment mistakes are common because these methods require a combination of patch cords with different polarity types. The polarity measurement of MultiFiber Pro allows the user to test individual patch cords, permanent links and channels for correct polarity.
Equipped with MPO connector on both the Optical Power Meter and Light Source, it eliminates the use of costly and complicated fan-out cords to test MPO fibers.
The MultiFiber Pro is so successful at simplifying the task of simultaneously representing polarity, power and loss results for 12 fibers that the user interface is patent pending. The power meter enables the users to easily comprehend the measurement results of 12 fibers simultaneously. The light source identifies each fiber within the MPO connector that is being tested. Any individual measurement that fails the test limit is plainly identified to allow root-cause analysis. This powerful yet straightforward test set enables everyone to become a fiber testing expert and increases efficiency in testing data center projects.
One of the main problems in the data center is the ability to drill down to a single fiber during testing and troubleshooting. MultiFiber Pro can troubleshoot a single fiber within an MPO trunk and provide a single fiber test result. This ability increases MPO connector verification and troubleshooting flexibility with more precise, per-fiber data and reporting.
Uncovered ports can put cabling, equipment and testers at risk for contamination and affect performance. Ensuring a covered connection on your tester can protect it from dirt and dust. MultiFiber Pro makes it easy by shuttering the MPO connector giving you greater test reliability and peace of mind.
The MultiFiber Pro Power Meter stores up to 3,000 test results (or the equivalent of 250 MPO cables) internally which can be uploaded to a PC using the LinkWare™ 7 Cable Test Management Software. LinkWare 7 allows you to manage test results, edit cable ID’s, print professional reports and even export the data into spreadsheet formats.
MultiFiber Pro is available in several convenient kit configurations to meet all your cleaning, inspection and verification testing needs. Some kits include:
Fiber Inspection – FiberInspector™ Pro The FiberInspector Pro is the ultimate inspection tool. Its 3.5” screen provides a larger image from its dual magnification probe. The small probe fits in the palm of your hand and can be switched between 250x and 400x magnification with the turn of a dial. The FiberInspector Pro and optional MPO tip complement the MultiFiber Pro test set to provide a comprehensive kit for cleaning, inspection and testing of MPO connected fibers and cassettes.
Fiber Cleaning – IBC® OneClick Cleaners Cleaning is critical. Fluke Networks’ OneClick Cleaners instantly clean fiber optic bulkhead connectors and end-faces. Just push the tool tip to engage cleaning action and pull back on the wheel – it’s that simple. The MPO OneClick Cleaner is bundled with the MultiFiber Pro kits to ensure that you have the best cleaning tool from the beginning.
