Ensure accurate and consistent measurements when testing multimode fiber.
Fluke Networks offers multimode fiber mandrels that 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 new 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 offer a simple, cost effective way to:
- Improve the repeatability and consistency of multimode optical power and loss measurements when using a LED source.
- Ensure that your measurements are compliant with TIA/EIA-568-B standards.
- Guarantee the correct number of wraps around the proper diameter mandrel.
- Protect the 3.0 mm fiber cable from damage and unwanted microbends.
Fluke Networks' Multimode Fiber Mandrels feature groves that enable the user to wrap the cable from the source five times around the mandrel. A retainer keeps the cable in place while not adversely pinching the fiber - making its use foolproof. The fiber mandrels are sized for 3.0 mm fiber cables - the most commonly used patch cable type in the industry. A 22 mm mandrel is available for 50/ 125µm fiber and a 17 mm mandrel is available for 62.5/125µm fiber.
