TREND Networks launches seven new fibre testers T
REND Networks has expanded its fibre testing range with seven affordable new products in the
FiberMASTER series. A simple handheld OTDR, PON OTDR, Power Meter and Light Source, and In- spection Probe will enable cable installers to get the dependable test results needed, while saving time on training, and thousands of pounds, accord- ing to the company. The new testers feature dynamic range, enabling
users to test longer fibers, PON systems and to maintain accuracy on high-loss fibers. “Demand for fibre cable is growing as high data
volumes and bandwidth requirements are increasing. At the same time, skilled technicians are hard to find and technicians coming into the industry often have minimal training,” Tim Widdershoven, marketing director for TREND Networks, said. “The new range is designed so that even those with limited experience or training can quickly be up and running, carrying out accurate tests while saving more than 50 per cent compared to other premium brands.” For instance, the new FiberMASTER OTDR,
designed for Tier 2 fibre cable certification, is described as among the smallest touchscreen OTDRs in the world and is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA to ensure quality. It features simple setup to ensure test accuracy to ISO/TIA/IEEE standards. Available in Quad, Multi- Mode and Single-Mode models, the OTDR includes easy to understand visual event maps to help even novice users to interpret test data correctly.
Convenient and handheld, installers can quickly
access a wide range of key troubleshooting data with the OTDR, such as distance to fault, length measurement, and distance to connectors or splices via the tester’s intuitive user interface. For dependable accuracy, distance is independently verified by German test laboratory GHMT AG in accordance with the Telcordia GR-196 specifications. Professional PDF reports can also be generated at the end of the job. A PON (Passive Optical Network) OTDR model for telecoms applications is also available. The range also includes a
high-quality Power Meter and Light Source kit to get reliable, instant results to identify how much loss there is on a cable, to support reporting of multi-mode and single-mode cabling. Fibre optic connectors are tested to industry standards to provide a Pass/Fail result, and test records and reports can be saved and generated.
