Fluke Networks’ new fibre test methods are optimized for front-line installers and technicians, increasing productivity while lowering equipment costs
Fluke Networks, provider of innovative Network SuperVision Solutions™ for the testing, monitoring and analysis of enterprise and telecommunications networks, announced today the new SimpliFiber® Pro Optical Power Meter and Fibre Test Kits. These new fibre test products allow a single technician to quickly perform tasks that previously required a two-person team. Furthermore, the SimpliFiber Pro’s ability to perform loss testing simultaneously at dual wavelengths – and save both measurements into one record – increases efficiency by cutting test times in half. The new SimpliFiber Pro Test Kits effectively double the productivity of network technicians testing fibre links; equipment costs are minimized by including value-added capabilities needed by front-line installers and technicians.
Users of the new SimpliFiber Pro Test Kits will benefit from the first-of-its-kind FindFiber™ capability. By plugging the FindFiber Remote ID sources into ports of a remote patch panel, an individual technician can identify the physical location of cabling runs to ensure polarity and the correct location on each fibre drop at a central panel. This time-saving feature enables a single technician to quickly perform double-ended testing – a job that formerly required multiple technicians and a talk set, one at each end of the link.
Also new are the SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter and sources. In addition to time-saving dual-wavelength testing, SimpliFiber Pro offers users a new CheckActive™ capability to quickly test whether a fibre is live. The SimpliFiber Pro power meter emits an audible tone and displays and icon whenever a live fibre is detected. This is faster than plugging into a port and setting up a complete power measurement.
The SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter also offers a new Min/Max capability that automates the precise tracking of intermittent power fluctuations. The new Min/Max function is considerably faster than legacy trial and error methods, saving time and user frustration.
Product availability
SimpliFiber Pro, a replacement for the existing and widely used SimpliFiber product line, is made up of four unique fibre platforms: the power meter, the multimode source, the singlemode source, and the FindFiber Remote ID sources. Each platform is available separately, or in a number of kit configurations that also include passive optical or active video inspection microscopes, a visual fault locator, fibre optic cleaning materials and carrying cases. The new SimpliFiber® Pro Optical Power Meter and Fibre Test Kits are available for immediate delivery from Fluke Networks sales partners worldwide.
