Automated optical loss measurement that provides immediate pass/fail link status based on industry standards.

Most industry standards and customer work statements require loss measurements to certify a fiber link. With OptiFiber's optional loss/length certification module, you can have the same powerful loss certification capability as found in our fiber test adapters. Only OptiFiber offers a single module that integrates both insertion loss and OTDR certification, minimizing the number of tools you need to carry with you into the field.

Loss/length certification provides the fastest certification solution possible. This certification solution uses a main unit and a smart remote so that in one automated operation the OptiFiber:

  • tests two fibers, a transmit and receive pair, at two wavelengths
  • measures fiber length using the time of flight technique
  • measures insertion loss of both fibers at both wavelengths
  • enables bi-directional testing without having to swap main and remote units
  • calculates the loss budget and compares the results to a user-defined test limit
  • immediately displays the pass/fail link status

This proven test methodology yields the most links tested in the least amount of time. You can drill down into the data to view details useful in link analysis and troubleshooting. OptiFiber also incorporates the timesaving FindFiber feature enabling users at both ends to quickly check and correct link continuity.

Utilizing LinkWare Cable Test Management software you can easily save all fiber link data electronically for results management and report generation.
