Encircled Flux Multimode Fiber Module Set
As enterprise bandwidth demand increases, it is more important than ever for installers and network owners to certify and document that their fiber links meet established industry standards, to protect against network downtime and lost revenue.
The Fluke Networks DTX-EFM2 Encircled Flux Multimode Modules for the DTX CableAnalyzer enable you to easily and accurately test while ensuring compliance. EF requirements are defined in the TIA-526-14-B and IEC 61280-1-4 standards. Encircled Flux compliance reduces loss measurement variation to a goal of +/- 10%, decreasing measurement uncertainty and improving measurement repeatability every time. This is the standard that cable manufacturers will expect for warranties.
The DTX Encircled Flux Fiber Modules matched with EF test reference cords (DTX-EFM2) are a quick and easy way to upgrade to EF compliance. No special training or change to normal testing procedures is required.
With today's demands on high-speed data networks containing both fiber optic and twisted-pair cabling, it's more important than ever to certify and document multiple media types to ensure a properly executed installation.
The DTX CableAnalyzer™ enables you to certify fiber optic cabling with on-board fiber modules. More convenient and powerful than other fiber optic test solutions, these modules enhance certification with two-fiber, dual wavelength testing and professional documentation of test results using LinkWare™. Not only can you certify both fiber and copper cables, but you can do it faster and more efficiently than you ever imagined.
With the latest introduction of the Encircled Flux (EF) Multimode Fiber Modules, the DTX CableAnalyzer provides an efficient and practical solution that complies with the EF requirements of TIA-526-14-B and IEC 61280-1-4.
Record Fast Fiber Certification
|
We engineered the DTX Fiber Modules to accelerate testing through exclusive technology and an easy-to-use interface. Press the Autotest button and automatically test two fibers, each at two wavelengths, measure length, and determine pass or fail status – all in about 12 seconds. Our fiber modules let you test more fibers in less time, minimizing testing costs and freeing you up for other tasks. |

Unlike competitive fiber adapters which measure length and two loss measurements per Autotest, DTX is the only fiber test solution that measures length and four loss measurements per Autotest - all in about 12 seconds.

Deliver Complete Tier 1 (Basic) Certification
DTX fiber modules provide a complete certification solution – loss, length and polarity. Validate fiber link performance and installation quality. Measure optical loss at multiple wavelengths, measure fiber length and verify polarity. You can bi-directionally test two fibers at two wavelengths with incredible speed without swapping main and remote units, a capability only available from Fluke Networks.
Certify Multimode and Singlemode Fiber
Your network may contain both multimode or singlemode fiber types. By combining 2 sets of modules, you can certify any multimode and singlemode fiber at 850, 1300, 1310, and 1550nm. Then save, upload, manage and print comprehensive certification reports using Fluke Networks LinkWare software.
Encircled Flux Compliant Multimode Fiber Testing
TIA-526-14-B and IEC 61280-1-4 now require tighter launch conditions to reduce measurement uncertainty. With the DTX-EFM2, users who are familiar with the DTX CableAnalyzer can easily make use of these new modules to perform EF compliant testing with no additional training. The DTX-EFM2 with the Encircled Flux Test Reference Cords (EF-TRCs) provide the most efficient and practical EF standards compliant testing solution. These EF-TRCs are individually tuned so that any DTX-EFM2 produces an EF compliant launch at the end of the EF-TRC.
Find Faults Faster
Use the integrated on-module visual fault locator (VFL) to troubleshoot simple link problems. The bright laser-driven VFL helps you visually locate many near-end fiber faults, and is useful for continuity and polarity verification. Our integrated design ensures that the VFL is always on-hand when you need it.
You Only Need One Compact Field Tester
Fluke Networks is committed to providing innovative solutions for testing and certifying copper and fiber cabling systems. Simply add these powerful modules to your DTX CableAnalyzer to certify, troubleshoot and document your fiber installations – today and tomorrow – with one compact field tester.
