Precise and Uncomplicated Fiber Optic Certification
Simplified fiber certification and troubleshooting with OTDR technology
Fiber optic cables are essential in modern industrial and enterprise networks, even over short distances, to support increasing bandwidth demands.
However, installation requires precision, as contaminated fiber end faces are responsible for up to 96% of network failures.
A user-friendly OTDR tester, such as the FiberXpert OTDR 5000, is therefore critical. It supports:
• Fiber inspection via USB-connected microscope
• Smart Link Mapper (SLM) for simplified visualization
Smart Link Mapper (SLM)
The Smart Link Mapper (SLM) converts complex OTDR measurements into clear, easy-to-read diagrams.
It provides direct PASS/FAIL interpretation of:
• Connectors
• Splices
• Reflection points
This significantly simplifies the analysis of OTDR traces and improves troubleshooting efficiency.
The FiberXpert OTDR 5000
The compact FiberXpert OTDR 5000 supports:
• Multimode fiber (850/1300 nm)
• Single-mode fiber (1310/1550 nm)
Key capabilities include:
• High dynamic range
• Event detection zone < 80 cm (ideal for short fiber links)
• Precise attenuation and power measurements
• Automatic standards-based evaluation
It enables professional Tier 2 fiber certification and reporting, while remaining easy to use in field environments.
The optional fiber microscope supports inspection according to IEC 61300-3-35.
Protection for Launch Fibers
Optional launch cords provide:
• Protection for measurement fibers
• Easy handling during testing
The PRO version includes an automatic roll-up function for improved workflow efficiency.
