Many fiber optic network bids and Requests For Quote (RFQ) cite national and international cabling standards which specify the guidelines that the installer must follow during installation. Adherence to such standards ensures the quality of the installation and guarantees that the network will perform as it was designed. The process of testing a network installation to ensure its adherence to such standards is called certification, and often requires hard-copy documentation as proof of adherence to standards. With the rapidly expanding need for bandwidth of fiber networks coupled with increased capability (and decreasing cost) of fiber test equipment, cabling standards have evolved to include additional fiber optic test procedures (FOTP) to reflect more thorough testing and measurement of fiber networks, for example, OTDR link characterization and/or fiber connector endface analysis. The Fiber OWL 7+ Singlemode Bundle contains the tools necessary for certifying fiber optic links against a myriad of popular cabling standards in singlemode networks, up to Tier 2 certification as specified in the TIA-568-3.D cabling standard. The Fiber OWL 7+Fiber OWL 7+ (p/n: F7+S) optical power meter enables singlemode certification, up to and including Tier 2 certification as defined in the TIA-568- 3.D cabling standard, each containing a user-friendly Fiber Link Wizard with color diagrams to guide the setup process, calculate the link budget, and set the optical reference. Thousands of LOSS/OTDR fiber runs may be stored in internal memory, and can be downloaded to a PC for report generation with OWLView software. Intelligent automated testing functions include automatic dual-wavelength storage and auto-wavelength recognition which reduce testing time and human error. The universal detector port in each Fiber OWL 7+ certifier comes with 2 adapter caps, one for 2.5mm connectors such as SC, ST, and FC, and the other for 1.25mm connectors such as LC, and the integrated OTDR port is used to measure the fiber cable length as well as characterize the fiber link. A visual fault locator is also included for basic troubleshooting of near-end faults, and check for fiber continuity and polarity. The WaveSource Pro Singlemode (p/n: WPSX) fiber optic light source is designed for accurate testing and certification of singlemode networks at 1310nm and 1550nm. Its dual-wavelength outputs are temperature-stabilized for accurate measurements. The WPSX has a built-in auto-wavelength switching protocol designed to synchronize the power meter wavelength of the 7+ with the current output wavelength. The light source comes configured with SC connector ports.As a bundle, the VS-400-U video scope allows users to inspect and capture endface images, which can than be imported into OWLView software to produce a comprehensive Tri-Report as shown at right.
