Once deployed, tested, and certified, fiber optic infrastructure is the only alternative that can support such high-speed applications.
Current fiber testing standards not only require loss and length measurements but also end-to-end inspection according to IEC 61300-3-35.
The COFITEL Group is responding to this demand with the availability of the new Viavi OLTS-85/85P portable fiber optic testers (formerly JDSU).
These models, the latest addition to the SmartClass Fiber family, combine advanced Level 1 fiber certification and end-to-end inspection capabilities.
The OLTS-85/85P units with a 3.5” color touchscreen (with stylus) integrate an inspection microscope, optical power meter (OPM), and light source (OLS) to become an all-in-one instrument for testing single-mode, multi-mode, and quad networks.
Both versions support the P5000i digital inspection probe microscope for pass/fail endpoint verification at the touch of a button. This allows them to exceed structured cabling standards while simplifying the work of technicians.
The goal of these portable units is to provide flexibility and performance, saving significant time during testing and certification.
These compact and rugged designs also feature 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm connector adapters and Senko adapters for FC, SC, ST, and LC, report sharing capabilities, and the option to generate reports using FiberCheckPRO™.
Why do standards matter when certifying a fiber network?
The reason standards matter when certifying a fiber network is that failing to demonstrate compliance with industry standards will result in higher costs in future warranty claims, remediations, SLA compensation, and customer goodwill. To pass the...
