FDX
Time Saving Fiber Certification
The FiberTEK FDX option allows users to add full Tier
1, standards compliant fiber certification capability
to the LanTEK II certifier. Tier 1 certification utilizes a
light source and power meter to measure the power
loss of optical cabling. FiberTEK FDX modules
incorporate dual light sources and a wide range
power meter to allow testing loss of fiber links as well
as to measure the light emitted from active network
equipment for troubleshooting.
The full-duplex FiberTEK FDX represents the pinnacle
of fiber optic certification, saving time and simplifying
documentation by completely eliminating the need to
swap launch cords or swap modules. The unique full-
duplex operation tests a single strand of fiber at two
wavelengths and in both directions, plus measures
the length with one press of the Autotest button. This
means that for each fiber, five test parameters are
saved for each cable ID making it the easiest to use
fiber certifier ever.
Three types of FiberTEK FDX are available to suit
every installation. Multi-mode (850/1300nm) kits
are available with either LED light sources for
10/100/1000Mbps certification, or VSCEL/laser
sources with high dynamic range for certification
of links greater than 2kM in length. Single mode
(1310/1550nm) kits feature laser sources as well.
Combination multi-mode and single mode kits are
available to further increase the FiberTEK FDX value.
Simplified Testing
Unlike other fiber certification add-ons that require
up to four separate testing steps to test each
fiber at both wavelengths and in both directions,
FiberTEK FDX can accomplish this task in one easy
step. FiberTEK FDX revolutionizes the whole fiber
certification process by utilizing a sophisticated full
duplex optical module that lets each fiber be certified
in one simple step with no reversing of patch cords
or swapping of optical modules. Four attenuation
measurements plus length in one press of the
Autotest button. The simplest way to certify fiber.
