Ideal FIBERTEK™ Advanced Fiber Test Option

Ideal FIBERTEK™ Advanced
Fiber Test Option

The FIBERTEK™ fiber accessory is the perfect solution for certifying or troubleshooting fiber backbones and fiber to the desktop installations in commercial buildings or campus environments. Working with LANTEK® 6 & 7, FIBERTEK measures signal loss and length over Multimode and Singlemode fiber. With an easy fiber adapter switch, FIBERTEK can support dual wavelength and bidirectional testing.

Working in conjunction with the FIBERTEK module, the IDEAL TRACETEK™ is a cost effective tool to support fiber diagnostic and distanceto-fault capabilities. TRACETEK generates traces similar to an expensive OTDR, thus helping installers quickly locate faults. TRACETEK works by injecting pulsed laser light into one end of the fiber and measuring the amount of light that is reflected back from events along the fiber cable. With TRACETEK, installers can quickly perform fiber troubleshooting and save time on the jobs.

Ideal FIBERTEK™ Advanced Fiber Test Option Features:

Measures signal loss and length over Multimode and Singlemode fiber
Supports 850 nm VCSEL light source to enable Gigabit Ethernet certification
Supports network specific autotests available for the most popular network types
Provides talkset capability for enhanced communications
Works with TRACETEK™ to support a unique combination of fiber measurement and troubleshooting capabilities
