New Senko mass fibre inspection device to aid ‘hard-pressed’ installers


www.senko.com


Senko Advanced Components recently unveiled the Smart Probe 2 fibre optic inspection device. Te probe is designed to provide quick, efficient analysis of fibre during end-face inspection, allowing data centres and telecoms providers to save maintenance time and help prevent network failures. Featuring wifi that connects to Android and Apple devices, and


designed with the ‘hard-pressed’ installer in mind, the Smart Probe 2 records and archives results to aid analysis and traceability of fibre connectivity issues. It comes with the VUE3 app featuring pass/fail analytical soſtware and a flexible data archiving tool that enables the operator to upload results of fibre inspections in as much detail as required. It also includes a built-in capture buton, a five-hour batery life and an


LED light to illuminate the adapter being inspected providing high-visibility in both high-density data centres and poorly lit telecom cabinets. Te Smart Probe 2 is an upgrade to the company’s original Smart Probe, with many improvements based on customer feedback. Te new device also features the auto increment and auto archiving


functions which allow the operator, in a few keystrokes, to set up the accompanying VUE3 app to automatically number each inspection and gather the inspection results under a group heading. Te installer can then review this consolidated report later and make edits before uploading, allowing them greater control of the report for improved visibility and traceability. A wide range of inspection tips are available.


ADVA launches AI-powered analytics service for infrastructure operators www.advaoptical.com


ADVA has launched its SatAware AI-powered analytics service for monitoring the quality of GNSS- based timing. Te solution provides operators


of critical infrastructure with real-time insight into signal quality at their GNSS satellite receivers. It allows operators to easily identify any physical objects blocking signals and resolve issues before they impact the synchronisation network. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of major CSPs and enable the robust timing needed for


5G connectivity. It will also prove invaluable in a wide range of time- sensitive industries, from utilities to financial networks. SatAware offers insight into the


health of all GNSS-based timing in the synchronisation network, featuring a lightweight data collection engine deployed at GNSS receiver sites that securely shares information on all standard satellite receivers with the SatAware data pool. Using intelligent algorithms,


the ADVA-hosted AI engine continuously analyses the condition


R&M universal cable solution launched for LAN and data centres


www.rdm.com R&M has launched a universal Cat. 8.1 cabling system to support up to 40GbE. Te system is backward- compatible as it is based on the standard RJ45 plug-in format. Tat means Cat. 6A patch leads used to date can still be deployed; networks can still be operated with 10GbE; data centres and LAN operators do not need any additional adapters,

of each antenna. It provides up-to- the-minute information on sky-view plots, carrier-to-noise ratios and all trouble indicators. Tis allows network operators to easily visualise


and evaluate reception by building a complete picture of signal strength for each individual satellite, without the need for dedicated hardware or soſtware at the GNSS receiver site.


JGR Optics introduces easy-to-use polarity tester


www.jgroptics.com


JGR Optics has released its new PT1 polarity tester. Designed to be simple to


operate, the polarity tester has a touchscreen interface to allow for one-touch testing of typical pre-programmed type A, B, C, and endless configurable custom profiles.


Te PT1 is ready to be


equipped with up to 288 channels, even for challenging configurations. It operates on a new, stand-alone JGR platorm which does not require a PC to operate. Tere is still the possibility of remote operation through USB or Ethernet.


transmission cables or fibre optic interfaces if they are soon migrating to the faster network generations 25 and 40GbE. Aſter the installation of a basic Cat.


8.1 infrastructure, faster switches and servers can be integrated seamlessly. Te basic Cat. 8.1 infrastructure (Permanent Link) consists of two RJ45 connection modules and a shielded


Cat. 8.2/8.1 S/FTP installation cable. Te system complies with both standard families: ISO/IEC 11801, Class I, and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D. Te system is intended for data


centres, particularly with regard to top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling. It would also suit buildings which require extremely fast local data networks.
