Fluke Networks MFTK-DC SM MM Test Kit Multifiber Pro

Fluke Networks MFTK-DC SM MM Test Kit Multifiber Pro

MultiFiber Pro takes the complexity out of testing MPO trunks for loss and polarity. With an on-board MPO connector, it is the first tester to automate the MPO fibertrunk testing process without using a fan-out cord. The power meter/light source boasts industry-first functions such as automatic scanning of all twelve fibers and display of test results in an easy-to-read bar graph. These innovative features allow MultiFiber Pro kits to eliminate the complexity of testing MPO trunks, making it 90 percent faster than the traditional simplex test methods.

First MPO tester to support both Singlemode and Multimode MPO fiber testing
Data centers are growing, fueled by the proliferation of media, virtualization and the need for more security and storage. This creates a high demand for 40 Gbps+ fiber links. Whether it is using 10 Gbps pre-terminated fiber trunks or planning for next-generation 40/100 Gbps performance, data centers are standardizing on Multi-fiber Push-on (MPO) connector solutions.

Pre-terminated fiber cables are manufactured and tested to comply with ANSI/TIA and international standards. When these cables are installed many factors can potentially impact performance. Field testing is the only way to ensure that pre-terminated fiber is installed to meet the application performance requirements. With single and duplex testers this verification testing is a timeconsuming, manual and imprecise process. To ensure installation is done to standards, test with the MultiFiber Pro.

MultiFiber Pro Power Meter and Light Source feature the following:

• Automatic scanning and testing of all fibers in MPO connectors with “Scan All”
• Support for both Multimode and Singlemode MPO trunks
• Eliminates the need for fan-out cords when testing fiber trunks
• Easy to interpret test results with minimal navigation
• User interface displays all 12 fibers
• Automate 8, 10 and 12 fiber measurements
• Troubleshoot MPO links and drill down to single fiber test results

MultiFiber Pro Unique Capabilities

“SCAN ALL” Function
Scan All function in the MultiFiber Pro Power Meter automatically scans and tests all 12 fibers in MPO connectors – taking just 6 seconds to complete all loss or power measurements. This feature automates the testing of MPO terminated fibers and eliminates the time consuming and manual process of moving the tester from fiber to fiber while using fan-out cords.

Built-in Polarity Verification
The simple purpose of any polarity scheme is to provide a continuous connection from the link's transmitter to the link's receiver. For array connectors, TIA-568-C.0 defines three methods to accomplish this. Deployment mistakes are common because these methods require a combination of patch cords with different polarity types. The polarity measurement of MultiFiber Pro allows the user to test individual patch cords, permanent links, and channels for correct polarity.

Polarity Agnostic Referencing
MPO deployments have many possible polarities: A, B, C, and Universal. MultiFiber Pro utilizes the concept of polarity agnostic referencing to simplify the referencing step. This powerful feature allows the user to reference with any polarity of patch cord. Then, using those same patch cords, the user can test any polarity link. Prior knowledge of the link's polarity is not required.

On-board MPO connector
The MPO connector on both the Optical Power Meter and Light Source eliminates the use of costly and complicated fan-out cords to test MPO fiber trunks.

Simple User Interface
The MultiFiber Pro simplifies the task of simultaneously presenting polarity, power, and loss results for 12 fibers. The power meter enables the users to easily comprehend the measurement results of 12 fibers simultaneously. The light source identifies each fiber within the MPO connector being tested. Any individual measurements that fail the test limit is identified to allow root-cause analysis. This powerful yet straightforward test set enables everyone to become a fiber testing expert increasing efficiency in testing data center projects.

Select an Individual Fiber
Drilling down to a single fiber during testing and troubleshooting is always a challenge in data centers. MuliFiber Pro can troubleshoot a single fiber within an MPO trunk to provide a single fiber test result. This increases MPO connector verification and troubleshooting flexibility with more precise, per-fiber data and reporting.

Easy Reporting
The MultiFiber Pro Power Meter stores up to 3,000 test results internally which can be uploaded to a PC using the LinkWare™ Cable Test Management Software. LinkWare allows you to manage test results, edit cable ID's, print professional reports and even export the data into spreadsheet formats.

Kits for Every Need
MultiFiber Pro is available in several convenient kit configurations to meet all your cleaning, inspection and verification testing needs. Some kits include:

The FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra is the industry's most complete fiber inspection solution. It's the only inspection camera that supports single fiber or MPO; automated or instant manual inspection and works with the Versiv™ Cabling Certification System, LinkWare™ or your smartphone. Get an instant view of the fiber endface using the Live View feature. Then use the simple gesture-based interface to zoom in fiber or perform an optional automated PASS/FAIL analysis in seconds. Its rugged, ergonomic design makes it comfortable even when inspecting hundreds of bulkheads and cables. Choose from two user interface and reporting methods. First, the iOS/Android app allows you to inspect your MPO installation using your phone and easily share your inspection results via text or even social media. Second, pair the FiberInspector with Versiv™ Cabling Certification System using its user interface and industry-leading LinkWare™ reporting system. With Versiv and LinkWare you can test copper, fiber loss, OTDR and inspection and combine the results into one complete report.

The FI-3000 FiberInspector Ultra offers an extensive feature set that makes testing MPO trunks, cassettes, array cables or single fibers easy and efficient. The multiple camera design with autofocus provides a Live View of the entire endface on your Versiv or smartphone instantly – then use simple touchscreen gestures to get a detailed view of endfaces in real time. Touch “TEST”, and in seconds, you'll get an automated PASS/FAIL result compliant with IEC 61300-3-35. Use the industry-leading LinkWare platform to store complete project reports including copper, fiber loss, OTDR and endface images or store results on your phone and share them through text messages or email. The compact, ergonomic design with autofocus makes it comfortable and fast even when you're testing hundreds of cable or ports.

• Total endface visibility with Live View from full trunk to individual endface
• Integrates with Versiv Cabling Certification System and LinkWare Reporting Software for simple operation and documentation or with mobile phones for testing and sharing
• Optional automated PASS/FAIL results in less than two seconds per fiber
• Multiple Autofocus/Autocentering Camera design for real time imaging
