Fluke Networks' Multimode Fiber Mandrels offer a simple, cost effective way to:

• Improve the repeatability and consistency of multimode optical power and loss measurements when using a LED source and 3.0 mm test jumpers
• Ensure that your measurements are compliant with TIA/EIA-568-B standards
• Guarantee the correct number of wraps around the proper diameter mandrel
• Protect 3.0 mm fiber cable from damage and unwanted microbends

Fluke Networks' multimode fiber mandrels provide a foolproof, cost-effective method of improving the repeatability and consistency of multimode optical power and loss measurements when using an LED source. Our mandrels guarantee the correct number of wraps of the appropriate diameter as specified by the TIA/EIA-568-B standard while protecting 3 mm fiber cables from damage and preventing unwanted microbends.

Fluke Networks' multimode fiber mandrels feature grooves that enable the user to wrap the source test jumper five times around the mandrel. A retainer keeps the cable in place while not crushing the fiber - making its use foolproof.

The fiber mandrels are sized for 3.0 mm fiber cables - the most commonly used jumper cable type in the industry. A red 22 mm mandrel is available for 50/ 125µm fiber and a 17 mm grey mandrel is available for 62.5/125µm fiber.
