This will mark a transformational change in the certification of broadband multimode and ultra-low loss single-mode fiber optic network projects in data centers.
The SYSTIMAX calculator (available to all CommScope partners at mycommscope.com) is a tool that accurately records total connection loss performance for SYSTIMAX low- and ultra-low-loss systems. Proprietary testing requirements establish performance targets that far exceed industry standards, providing superior support for high-speed data network architectures and applications. SYSTIMAX LLC's integration with Fluke Network's Versiv provides automated performance for warranty certification of single-mode and multimode fiber systems.
“Our research has shown that eliminating errors in the certification process generates significant savings for cabling contractors,” said Eric Conley, Vice President and General Manager of Fluke Networks. “By building the calculator into Versiv and LinkWare Live, customers can reduce complexity and ensure certification is done correctly the first time.”.
CertiFiber Pro improves the efficiency of fiber optic certification, simplifies setup, eliminates errors, and accelerates troubleshooting, in addition to featuring a three-second, two-fiber/two-wavelength test. Its modular design also supports optical time-domain reflectometry, fiber end-of-fiber inspection, and copper certification modules. Fluke Networks' LinkWare Live cloud service allows project managers to configure and track multiple testers and projects from their office, saving time and further reducing the potential for configuration errors. With over eight million test results uploaded to date, LinkWare Live is the leading cloud service for cable certification projects.
“We are pleased with this partnership, which we know will serve our customers well in the future,” added John Schmidt, Vice President of Engineering at CommScope. “Installers will not only have access to the most comprehensive certification solutions, approved by CommScope, but they can also be confident that their infrastructure will operate to the highest standards required for cloud, hyperscale, or enterprise applications, and for current and future needs.”.
The SYSTIMAX (LLC) Fiber Connection Loss Calculator will become standard as part of the latest firmware release for Fluke's Pro Optical CertiFiber Loss Testing Kit (OLTS). The OLTS improves fiber certification efficiency by simplifying setup, eliminating errors, and speeding up troubleshooting—all in less than a second. The inspection provides automated pass/fail certification for SYSTIMAX LLC requirements.
