Using the SimpliFiber® Pro Optical Power Meter and Fiber Test Kit

The meter features the ability to save a reference power level, allowing a direct display of fiber loss. It also has an intuitive four-button panel, a large LCD display screen, and a serial port. The meter’s single connector permits simple network connection and straightforward reference power measurement. Interchangeable connector adapters are available in the most popular connector styles.

The multimode source is a dual wavelength 850/1300 source and incorporates an 850 nm LED and a 1300 nm LED, perfect for multimode fiber testing. You can add an optional singlemode 1310/1550 and/or 1490/1625 source to any kit as your testing needs evolve. These laser sources are ideal for all singlemode fiber testing. All sources are compatible with the SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter.

The FindFiber™ Remote ID source is a new platform in the Fluke Networks family. When used with the optical power meter, these remote ID sources allow for quick and easy cable-routing identification.

Although they are effective as separate tools, the SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter and sources are engineered to work together. The automatic wavelength-sensing feature of the meter identifies the source wavelength and sets itself appropriately so you do not have to. This simplifies multi-wavelength tests and saves at each wavelength to prevent costly measurement errors. The compact SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter and sources are durable and rugged. They feature textured, impact-resistant covers and a compact, ergonomic shape for a comfortable and secure grip. Long battery life assures hours of trouble-free operation.

The SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter is calibrated for accuracy at 850 nm, 1300 nm, 1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm and 1625 nm. The meter features the ability to save a reference power level, allowing a direct display of fiber loss. It has an intuitive four-button panel, a large LCD display screen, and a USB port to upload test results to a PC running LinkWare™ Cable Test Management Software. SimpliFiber Pro sources include a dual-wavelength 850/1300 nm source, a dual-wavelength 1310/1550 nm source, and a dual-wavelength 1490/1625 nm source. The FindFiberTM Remote ID sources transmit at 1310 nm.

The FindFiber™ remote ID sources allow you to identify the physical location of cabling runs to ensure polarity and the correct location on each fiber drop (Figure 1 and Figure 2). This time-saving feature enables a single technician to quickly perform double-ended testing – ideal for pre-testing a job site before any adds, moves, or changes.

Inspect the ends of fiber-optic connectors with Fluke Networks’ handheld FiberInspector™ Mini video microscope or FiberViewer™ microscopes. All options ensure your termination is smooth, clean, and ready for optical transmission. The FT500 FiberInspector Mini can be used in any live fiber installation and provides 200x viewing. The FT120 FiberViewer provides 200x magnification for inspecting multimode fiber end-faces while the FT140 FiberViewer offers 400x viewing for singlemode installations. Both FiberViewer microscopes contain a special safety filter to minimize the risk of eye exposure to harmful infrared rays.

Diagnose and repair simple fiber link problems with Fluke Networks’ VisiFault™ Visual Fault Locator (VFL). The laser-powered VisiFault locates fibers, verifies continuity and polarity, and helps find breaks in cables, connectors, and splices. Continuous and flashing modes make for easier identification. Compatible with 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm (with optional adapter) connectors for easy connection.

Manage test results, print professional reports, or export data into spreadsheet formats. SimpliFiber Pro can internally store up to 1000 test results which can then be uploaded to your PC using the included LinkWare™ Cable Test Management Software.
