- Provides an easy to use troubleshooting capability for fiber optic
cables
- Illustrates distance-to-fault by providing magnitude and distance of
reflective events
- Presents graphical information of fiber under test—similar to an expensive
OTDR
- Measures total fiber length without remote handset or second operator
- Supports test result storage and report generation using LANTEK® Reporter
Software
- Requires only one LAN cable certifier for copper and fiber testing and
troubleshooting
With TRACETEK™, the LANTEK® series ofcable certifiers can now troubleshoot
fiber optic installations.
Troubleshooting fiber has traditionally been done with an OTDR, but now
TRACETEK offers a much simpler and cost-effective solution. TRACETEK can
graphically display the fiber under test allowing pin-point location of events
and faults on multimode and singlemode cables without the high costs normally
associated with buying or renting an OTDR. Time on the job is further reduced
with simple one-button operation.
TRACETEK works by injecting pulsed laser light into one end of the fiber and
measuring the amount of light that is reflected back from events along the fiber
cable. These reflections are then processed and plotted on the LANTEK 1/4 VGA
color display.
Events, like connectors, show up as spikes on the display. A bad splice will
result in more light being reflected back, thus generating a bigger spike. The
amplitude of the spike gives an indication of optical return loss, thus
identifying the trouble spot. While using TRACETEK, a cursor can scroll along
the trace to provide a reading of distance to the event.
TRACETEK can graphically display and store fiber traces. LANTEK Reporter
Software provides file management, report generation, and printing of all test
results. TRACETEK is the only fiber accessory for a LAN cable certifier that
will trace a fiber run, provide distance-tofault along the fiber and display the
relative magnitude of the event.
When used together, TRACETEK and FIBERTEK Adapters provide LANTEK series of
cable certifiers a unique combination of fiber measurement, documentation and
trouble shooting capabilities. It is a cost effective fiber certification
solution to meet the requirements of the proposed TIA TSB-140.
