Product Capabilities

The DSP-4100, the newest member of Fluke Networks' family of Digital Cable Analyzers, offers the same superior diagnostics and digital test accuracy of the DSP-4000, with the addition of comprehensive management capabilities.

Like the DSP-4000, the DSP-4100 certifies copper and fiber cabling installations to all current industry and application standards, as well as proposed TIA Cat 6 and ISO/IEC Class E performance standards.

If you own a DSP-4000, you can upgrade to a DSP-4100 with the DSP-4100E Upgrade Kit. The kit contains instructions for contacting Fluke Networks to schedule your upgrade with an authorized Fluke Service Center. A technician will upgrade your DSP-4000 main and remote units and return them with a removable 16-MB memory card, PC reader for the card, Fluke's Cable Managerﾙ Software, version 4.0 and a user manual.

Fluke Networks keeps its eye on the future - so you don't have to.

From superior diagnostics and extendible digital platform to extensive reporting capabilities, the DSP-4100 provides you with everything you need to test, certify and document copper and fiber installations - today and tomorrow.

Powerful, High Definition Diagnostics

The DSP-4100 helps you quickly identify and locate opens, breaks, short circuits, and anomalies in the cabling link. One touch of the FAULT-INFO key and the DSP-4100 automatically diagnoses the cabling faults while graphically displaying the link and location of the defect. Utilizing Enhanced High Definition Time Domain Crosstalk (HDTDXﾙ) and High Definition Time Domain Reflectometry (HDTDRﾙ), the DSP-4100 can precisely locate the position of a crosstalk problem any distance along the link -- measured in feet or meters -- from the tester. These high definition diagnostics make the DSP-4100 the industry's first cable tester to pinpoint sources of crosstalk or return loss anywhere along an entire link length.

DSP FTA-440 Fiber Adapters

Accurately test MultiMode Gigabit Testing with the DSP-FTA440

Networks running Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber commonly use a new type of light source called a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL). VCSELs are more cost-effective than conventional lasers and it provide greater bandwidth than LED light sources.

The proper way to accurately test a fiber network using a VCSEL is with a tester that uses a VCSEL. Meet the DSP-FTA440 the world's first VCSEL-based Fiber Test Adapter.

Combining the DSP-FTA440 with a DSP-4000 DSP-4100 or DSP-4300 provides automatic, dual-fiber loss testing and certification by using a VCSEL laser at 850 nm and a Fabry-Perot (FP) laser at 1310 nm wavelengths. It also measures the length of fiber links and certifies the results against the Gigabit Ethernet standard.

In addition, the DSP-FTA440 allows bi-directional testing on both fibers under test and saves results for both directions in the same record. Utilizing Fluke Networks' comprehensive CableManager Software you can easily save all fiber link data electronically for results management and report generation.

Why do I need the DSP-FTA440 Gigabit Multimode Fiber Test Adapter if I already have an LED multimode tester?
- Networks running Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber, use a light source called a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) for data transmission at 850 nm. More cost-effective than the traditional laser, a VCSEL provides greater bandwidth than possible with LED light sources.

With a VCSEL source, the light energy is concentrated in the center of the fiber, whereas an LED source fills the entire fiber with light energy. The farther the light energy is away from the center of the fiber, the more likely it is to escape the fiber and show up as power loss. Therefore, when LED testers are used to test gigabit multimode fibers, they tend to show more power loss than is actually present in a network using a VCSEL transmission source. With the very tight loss budgets for Gigabit Ethernet, you could actually get a FAIL reading with an LED test, when the link is really working. This could result in time wasted trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

When you test with the VCSEL-based DSP-FTA440, you can be sure that you will see the actual loss that is present in the network.

Can I test either 62.5 m m or 50.0 m m fiber with the Gigabit Multimode Fiber Test Adapter?
- Yes. The DSP-FTA440 Fiber Test adapter contains a 50.0 m m internal launch fiber, so it is perfect for testing 50.0 m m fiber. And it works just as well for 62.5 m m fiber because the light is being launched from a smaller fiber (50.0 m m) into a larger fiber (62.5 m m), capturing all of the light energy. This is true for both 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths.

Does it matter what core size or type of patch cord I use?
- Yes. The patch cord should always match the core size and type of the fiber under test. A mismatched patch cord may cause inaccurate loss measurements at the mismatched fiber-to-fiber interface.
Fast and easy testing. Automatic documentation
