Certifier for Singlemode Cabling WireXpert MP FS
WireXpert MP mainframe with singlemode 1310/1550 nm fiber modules
Description
Certifier for Singlemode Cabling
The Softing WireXpert MP FS is a cost-effective, fiber-only Tier 1 certifier built for singlemode (1310/1550 nm) fiber optic cabling. As part of the modular WireXpert MP series, it combines reliable measurement accuracy with powerful features like a broadband power meter and integrated visual fault locators. Ideal for backbone, data center, and FTTx applications, it offers a guided user experience for fiber testing and is expandable to handle multimode or high-end copper certification.
Detailed Description
The WireXpert MP FS is engineered to streamline the certification of singlemode fiber networks. It features a broadband power meter covering 800 to 1650 nm and stable Fabry-Perot laser sources at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, ensuring accurate loss and power measurements. 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 EF-compliant multimode fiber modules or copper certification modules up to Cat 8.
Applications
The WireXpert MP FS is the ideal tool for:
- Backbone & Campus Cabling: Perfect for certifying long-haul singlemode fiber backbones across large campus networks.
- Data Center Infrastructure: Ideal for certifying singlemode links in modern data centers, including those supporting high-speed Ethernet.
- FTTx Network Testing: Suitable for commissioning and troubleshooting fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) installations, including measuring received power.
- Telecommunications & Service Providers: Invaluable for maintenance and verification of singlemode fiber in telecom networks.
- Mixed-Media Environments: As part of the modular platform, it can be expanded with multimode fiber or copper modules to handle all certification needs.
Advantages
