Operation
Attaching the Fiber SmartProbe+ transforms the WireScope 350
into a high performance optical fiber power meter and loss meter. The Fiber
SmartProbe+ product line consists of a family of fiber optic test probes, each
of which can function as both a transmitter and a detector. The detectors of all
Fiber SmartProbes+ support 850 nm measurements for multimode. This architecture
supports both single-ended and double-ended measurements and allows Fiber
SmartProbes+ to be used together for double-ended measurements.
Certifies Fiber for Gigabit Ethernet
Fiber SmartProbes+ provide fast and
comprehensive certification of installed fiber for use with Gigabit Ethernet
equipment. Test profiles are available for both 1000BaseSX and 1000BaseLX and
for multimode and singlemode fiber. Fiber SmartProbes+ support a total of 25
network-specific certification tests (see specifications section for detail).
Superior Measurement Performance
Length and propagation delay measurement
capabilities are included in the multimode and singlemode Fiber SmartProbe+
modules. As data rates increase on LAN and WAN backbones, maximum feasible fiber
transmission distances decrease. For example, a popular version of Gigabit
Ethernet can only span 260 meters over optical fiber. It is therefore critical
to verify compliance with the maximum length restrictions appropriate for the
fiber type and network topologies planned for any new or existing installation.
Fiber SmartProbes+ are faster and less expensive than an OTDR - the only
alternative to perform this function.
Automatic Loss Budget Certification
TIA 568A, 568B.3 and ISO 11801
contain loss budgets that define the maximum allowable loss for installed fibers
as a function of fiber length and the number of splices in a link. Until now,
verifying compliance with these loss budgets required expensive OTDR equipment
and manual calculations. Fiber SmartProbes+ automate this process to produce
fast and accurate loss budget certifications with full test result documentation
storage as you go.
Professional-Quality Reports
ScopeData Pro cable test data management and
reporting software is bundled with the WireScope and Fiber SmartProbes+ at no
additional charge. Scope Data Pro can upload stored fiber and copper test
results into the same database for organized and convenient reporting.
