Certifier for Multimode Cabling WireXpert MP FM

WireXpert MP mainframe with multimode 850/1300 nm fiber modules

Description

Certifier for Multimode Cabling
The Softing WireXpert MP FM is a cost-effective, fiber-only Tier 1 certifier purpose-built for multimode (850/1300 nm) fiber optic cabling. As part of the modular WireXpert MP series, it delivers reliable measurement accuracy with EF compliance out of the box, meeting the highest industry standards. Ideal for backbone, data center, and FTTx applications, it combines powerful diagnostics with time-saving features like DocuCam™ and LinkTrack™ in an ergonomic, expandable platform.

Detailed Description

The WireXpert MP FM is engineered to streamline the certification of multimode fiber networks. It features a broadband power meter covering 800 to 1650 nm and Encircled Flux (EF) compliant 850 nm light source, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements without the need for expensive mode conditioning cords. Two integrated red light sources (for 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm ferrules) eliminate the need for adapters during visual fault location. Exchangeable adapters for LC, SC, and FC connectors are included, providing flexibility for various interface types. The device offers a guided user experience for fiber testing, simplifying complex tasks. Built-in DocuCam™ with flash allows for easy visual documentation of cabling, while LinkTrack™ streamlines link tracking via QR code generation and scanning. Integrated project management and PDF reporting ensure professional documentation. The ergonomic design features the advanced Dual Control System DCS+™ with two large, responsive multi-touch screens, dual AUTOTEST buttons for left- and right-handed users, and FlipTags™ for flexible local/remote assignment. The platform is expandable with singlemode Tier 1 certification modules or copper modules up to Cat 8.

Applications

The WireXpert MP FM is the ideal tool for:

  • Data Center Backbone Certification: Perfect for certifying high-fiber-count multimode backbones in data centers.
  • FTTx Network Testing: Ideal for commissioning and troubleshooting fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) installations.
  • Campus & Enterprise Cabling: Suitable for certifying multimode fiber links across large campus and enterprise networks.
  • Fiber Network Maintenance: Invaluable for ongoing maintenance and verification of existing fiber infrastructure.
  • Mixed-Media Environments: As part of the modular platform, it can be expanded with copper modules to handle both copper and fiber certification needs.

 

Advantages

  • Cost-Effective Fiber Solution: A dedicated, economical Tier 1 certifier for multimode fiber, eliminating the cost of unused copper testing capabilities.
  • Industry-Compliant Accuracy: EF compliance out of the box ensures measurements meet the highest standards (IEC 14763-3, etc.) without extra accessories.
  • Enhanced Productivity: Integrated red light sources for 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm ferrules speed up visual fault location.
  • Innovative Documentation: Built-in DocuCam™ with flash and LinkTrack™ QR code system streamline on-site documentation and link tracking.
  • Superior Ergonomics: DCS+™ with two large, responsive multi-touch screens, dual autotest buttons, and FlipTags™ for best-in-class handling.
  • Modular & Expandable: Part of a flexible platform that can be expanded with singlemode fiber modules or copper certification modules up to Cat 8.
