Automated test system offers industry-leading specifications for multimode and singlemode testing of short fibre assemblies
Exfo Electro-Optical Engineering has announced the availability of the IQS-12001B cable assembly test system for multimode patchcord applications.
The cable assembly test system, a key productivity tool for manufacturing fibre assemblies and connectors, now automatically tests multimode (850/1300 nm) as well as singlemode fibres (1310/1550 nm or 1550/1625 nm) for connector insertion loss and mandrel-free reflectance measurements.
This automated test system boasts best-in-class specifications for insertion loss testing (multimode, +/-0.07dB; singlemode, +/-0.03dB) and offers the best mandrel-free reflectance range in the industry (multimode, 10 to 45dB; singlemode, 30 to 70dB), even on the most difficult-to-test angle-polished connectors (APCs).
"This new cable assembly test system is designed to maximise production throughput and quality for multimode and singlemode short fibre assemblies such as simplex, duplex, multifibre and bundle," said tienne Gagnon, director of product management at Exfo.
"Its new multimode fibre testing capabilities responds to growing demand for fibres in the datacom and enterprise markets where the volume of data traffic is still on the rise due to the deployment of the internet and data-centric network architectures." "This automated test system relies on our PC-based, Windows-driven IQS-500 modular platform and suite of plug-and-play test modules, as well as a comprehensive software library, to deliver insertion loss and reflectance measurements with the highest degree of accuracy and repeatability," Gagnon added.
"Using Exfo's modular platform design allows manufacturers in the fibre-optic industry to retain full flexibility, future-proof their test operations, and create unlimited and very efficient manufacturing automation solutions.".
