Fluke Networks® OFP-MM OptiFiber Pro Multimode OTDR module
Industry’s shortest event and attenuation dead zones
Accelerate fiber certification with the fastest set-up and trace times
Instantaneous bi-directional averaging results included at no charge
Improve resource utilization with custom configurations for projects and users
OptiFiber® Pro is the industry’s first OTDR built from the ground up to meet the challenges of enterprise fiber infrastructures. This troubleshooting and certification tool combines uncomplicated power, unparalleled efficiency and the exact functions needed for troubleshooting campus, data center and storage fiber networks.
The OptiFiber® Pro OTDR elevates fiber testing with the industry’s only smartphone interface that turns a technician into a fiber expert. The DataCenter OTDR configuration eliminates uncertainty and errors that occur when testing data center fiber. Its ultra-short dead zones enable testing of fiber patchcords in virtualized data centers. These capabilities, plus the fastest-in-the-industry trace times, make the OptiFiber Pro OTDR a must-have tool.
Smartphone User Interface
Most OTDRs are designed for a myriad of applications, causing the user interface to be difficult to navigate and interpret. OptiFiber Pro combines the latest “gesture-based” interface technology with a capacitive touchscreen to deliver the most innovative and user-friendly OTDR.
Advantages:
Single-touch tap and swipe control for selecting and scrolling menu items
Multi-touch pinch to zoom for easy magnification control on a graphical fiber trace
Task-focused design to reduce back and forth navigation through screens
Capacitive touchscreen eliminates the need to recalibrate unlike legacy touchscreens
Context sensitive on-screen help that gives users additional details or problem resolution suggestions
Optimized for the Datacenter
Driven by server virtualization and multi-gigabit links between servers, networks and storage, the datacenter architecture employs more patch cords and dense topology connectors, rendering carrier-class OTDRs with long dead zones ineffective. OptiFiber Pro not only makes fiber deployment in datacenters possible, but provides the highest level of accuracy for quick problem resolution.
With a simple one-touch selection, users enter DataCenter OTDR mode – without setup time for fine-tuning as needed in legacy OTDRs. DataCenter OTDR mode automatically detects OTDR parameters – end-detection algorithms, pulse widths, etc – without getting confused by the short links or number of connectors.
Advantages:
Ultra-short event and attenuation dead-zones precisely locates events and faults on fiber links
DataCenter OTDR™ mode automatically sets the configuration to quickly test datacenter fiber
The EventMap feature depicts fiber events in a way that requires no trace analysis expertise
Unique Certification with Fexibility and Efficiency
An important aspect in maximizing an OTDR’s value is to properly plan its day-to-day usage. With built-in project management, OptiFiber Pro allows a project manager to define each user’s role, settings and the associated tasks to be performed – transforming the OTDR into an all-in-one fiber testing tool complete with planning, inspection, certification and reporting.
OptiFiber Pro enhances job efficiency by allowing the workflow planner to create and manage operator and job profiles per project – defined jobs or sets of cable IDs can be assigned to specific operators. The progress and status of each project can also be easily monitored.
Advantages:
Full OTDR capability that certifies fiber performance based on job assignment for each operator
Powerful project management facilitates OTDR sharing with clear job assignment for each operator
Easy monitoring of job progress with pass/fail results
On-screen report generation and upload to LinkWare™ application
Extremely short event and attenuation dead zone
The OptiFiber Pro leverages the most sophisticated optical technology to provide the shortest event dead zone (0.5 m typical for MM) and attenuation dead zone (2.2 m typical for MM and 3.6 m typical for SM) of any OTDR. This technological advancement allows OptiFiber Pro to detect and measure closely spaced faults where no other OTDR can in today’s connector-rich datacenter and storage area environments.
LinkWare™ management software
Leveraging the popular and multi-featured LinkWare cable test management software application, OptiFiber Pro users can easily access the hassle-free project management, report generation, and software upgrade capabilities to manage workflow and consolidate test results.
Two second trace per wavelength
Another breakthrough with OptiFiber Pro is the data acquisition speed. While in Quick Test mode, a complete set of data is acquired in as little as two seconds per wavelength. OptiFiber Pro then analyzes the data and displays it as an EventMap, Table or Trace. The end result is less time spent testing and more time performing other tasks.
On-screen help – corrective action
On-screen “help” suggests corrective action(s) for resolving fiber problems during each testing step. The “help” offered is context sensitive which allows users to quickly pinpoint possible resolutions. An easy-to-read, gray icon in the bottom, left-hand corner shows detailed corrective action recommendations.
FiberInspector™ probe
OptiFiber Pro’s video inspection system examines patch cords and patch panel bulkheads to avoid the number one cause of fiber link failure – contamination. Significant time is saved because the probe is inserted directly into the patch panel’s bulkhead to examine installed fiber terminations without disassembling the patch panel. Technicians assign a pass or fail grade to the fiber, append a comment and save it for use in certification reports.
