Certifier for SM and MM Cabling WireXpert MP FQ
WireXpert MP mainframe with both multimode 850/1300 nm and singlemode 1310/1550 nm fiber modules
Description
Certifier for Single- and Multimode Cabling
The Softing WireXpert MP FQ is the ultimate all-in-one, fiber-only Tier 1 certifier, designed to handle both multimode (850/1300 nm) and singlemode (1310/1550 nm) fiber optic cabling in a single modular set. With EF-compliant multimode measurement out of the box and a broadband power meter, it delivers unmatched versatility and accuracy for any fiber environment—from data centers and campuses to FTTx and industrial applications.
Detailed Description
The WireXpert MP FQ combines the full power of multimode and singlemode fiber certification in one cost-effective package. It features a broadband power meter covering 800 to 1650 nm and a comprehensive set of light sources: an EF-compliant 850 nm LED for accurate multimode measurements (eliminating the need for expensive mode conditioning cords), a 1300 nm LED, and Fabry-Perot lasers at 1310 nm and 1550 nm for singlemode testing. Two integrated red light sources (for 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm ferrules) simplify visual fault location without requiring adapters. Exchangeable adapters for LC, SC, and FC connectors are included, offering maximum flexibility. The device provides a guided user experience for fiber testing, making complex tasks straightforward. 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 copper certification modules up to Cat 8.
Applications
The WireXpert MP FQ is the ideal tool for:
- Data Center Certification: Perfect for certifying both multimode and singlemode links in modern, high-density data centers.
- Backbone & Campus Networks: Ideal for testing long-haul singlemode backbones and short-range multimode distribution cabling across large campuses.
- FTTx Network Testing: Suitable for commissioning and troubleshooting fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) installations, including power measurement.
- Industrial & Special Applications: Excellent for environments with mixed fiber types, such as ships, industrial plants, and wind mills.
- Mixed-Media Environments: As part of the modular platform, it can be expanded with copper modules to handle all copper and fiber certification needs.
Advantages
- Complete Fiber Solution: An all-in-one Tier 1 certifier for both multimode and singlemode fiber, eliminating the need for multiple devices.
