GE Ethernet running on Multimode Optical Cables usually uses a new type of light source called VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser. VCSELs are cheaper than conventional laser sources, and have wider bandwidth than LEDs. A tester with VCSEL laser light source is required to correctly and accurately test the optical cable link. DSP-FTA440S-is the world's first optical cable test adapter using VCSEL laser light sources. DSP-FTA440S with DSP-4000 series cable tester can provide automatic dual optical cable loss test and certification, while using VCSEL laser light source, at 850nm and Fabry-Perot (FP) the laser light source is tested at a wavelength of 1310nm. It also tests the length of the optical cable link and tests the measurement results based on the standard certification of Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, the DSP-FTA430 can perform bidirectional tests on Dual Optical Cables and store the test results in the same record. Using our high-performance LinkWare cable management software, you can easily store test results for all Optical Fiber Links and manage and print test reports.
Multimode Optical Cable Test
The highly automated dual-optical cable test DSP-FTA420S is connected to the DSP-4000 series cable tester to test the dual-optical cable at the same time on the dual-wavelength, greatly shortening the time of certification testing. The above optical fiber test adapter uses an LED light source to conveniently and accurately measure the power loss and length of multimode optical fiber cables. DSP-FTA420S has a larger dynamic range and can test 850nm and 1300nm multimode optical fiber cables up to 5 km. They can also test the dual-optical fiber cables in both directions and automatically store the dual-direction test results in one record. Therefore, you do not need to test at one end and then run to the other end to re-test. Poor connection, poor welding, excessive bending and optical power loss can be easily measured. The FTA410S and FTA420S time-saving FindFiber features allow users to quickly check and locate signals from the other end at both ends. This minimizes the time required to find the correct signal end.

FAQs frequently asked when choosing FTA correctly (FAQ)
It can be used to help select the most suitable optical cable test adapter.
Q: Why do I need to use a DSP-FTA430S optical cable test adapter to test a single-mode optical cable? A: The DSP-FTA430S optical cable test adapter is specifically designed to test single-mode optical cables and single-mode wavelengths. It includes 1310nm and 1550nm laser light sources, which are standard transmission light sources for single-mode optical fiber networks in buildings and campus networks. FTA430S uses a single-mode optical fiber cable as the internal transmitting optical fiber cable, which provides a correct connection between the test instrument and the test connection single-mode optical fiber cable to the optical fiber cable. When the optical fiber link is tested using the same laser light source as the network application type, the mismatch and loss of the optical fiber are eliminated, and the test results are unstable.

Q: Why can't I use my existing 1300nm LED light source to test and run the 1310nm single-mode optical cable? Answer: If you use the 1300nm LED light source to test the 1310nm single-mode optical fiber cable, the light will be from the Optical Fiber Transmission Line of the core 62. 5mm to the optical fiber cable of the core 9. 0mm. The result is that the connection between the optical fiber and the optical fiber causes great losses (see ).

:

The optical energy entering the single-mode optical fiber cable may be sufficient for the loss measurement, but only the optical fiber link with a short distance can be tested. More importantly, if the loss of a single-mode optical fiber cable is measured at the wavelength of 1300nm, the parameter of 1550nm is missing. When testing a single-mode optical fiber cable, a proper test should be performed on all wavelengths that the cable link may work on. If you use the LED light source to test the single-mode optical cable, you can only obtain the performance of the optical cable link at 1300nm. Because a single-mode optical fiber cable may use a wavelength of 1550nm throughout its service life, it is important to test the dual wavelength. Testing at the wavelength of 1550nm is very important, because for loss, the impact of Optical Cable bending on the wavelength of 1550nm is much greater than that of 1310nm. Table 1 illustrates the experimental results of the bending effects of the two wavelengths.

Q: Because you cannot use an existing LED light source to test the 1310nm single-mode optical fiber cable, can you use a DSP-FTA440S gigabit network optical fiber cable to test the adapter to test the 1310nm single-mode optical fiber cable? A: Likewise, this will cause a mismatch problem. Because the DSP-FTA440S gigabit network test adapter is designed for Multimode Optical Fiber testing, supports 50. 0mm optical fiber cables, while single-mode optical fiber cables are 9.0. When FTA440S is used as a centralized laser light source, a slight mismatch may cause all optical energy loss at the receiving end of the optical cable. In short, the result of testing a single-mode optical fiber cable without a laser source fails, and the actual network application may be okay.

Q: If I already have an LED multimode tester, why do I still need a DSP-FTA440S gigabit network multimode cable test adapter? A: The Gigabit Ethernet light source running on a multimode optical fiber cable is called the VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) light source and uses the 850nm wavelength. VCSEL is more efficient than conventional laser light sources, and can provide wider bandwidth than LEDs. The optical energy of the VCSEL light source is more concentrated in the core of the optical fiber cable, and the energy of the LED light source is scattered on the entire optical fiber cable. The farther the distance is, the more light energy is dispersed outside the core of the cable, the larger the loss is. Therefore, when you use an LED tester to test and run a gigabit network multimode optical fiber cable, there will be much greater power loss than the actual use of VCSEL light source. For Gigabit Ethernet with extremely demanding loss indicators, failure to test the optical fiber link of the LED light source may occur. However, the actual optical fiber link may work normally. Such a situation may result in a waste of time and money to search for it. When using an VCSEL-based DSP-FTA440S to test the optical cable link, you can be sure what is the real loss of the actually running network.

Q: Can I use a gigabit multi-mode optical fiber test adapter (FTA440S) to test the 62. 5mm or 50. 0mm Optical Fiber Link? A: Yes. DSP-FTA440S optical cable test adapter contains 50. 0mm internal launch optical cable, so the test of 50. 0mm optical cable link is very good. It can also be used to test the optical fiber link of 62. 5mm, because the optical energy is transmitted from a fine optical fiber cable (50.0mm) to a coarse optical fiber cable (62.5mm), all the energy will be captured. The 850nm and 1300nm principles are the same. Q: Is the size and type of the tested optical fiber cables important? Answer: Yes. The test connection cable should always match the tested cable link. Mismatched test connection optical cables may cause inaccurate loss measurements due to connection problems between optical cables and optical cables. Fast and convenient testing, automatic document filing testing and certification of various optical cable links are never as convenient and simple as using DSP series cable testers and various optical cable test adapters today. All fluke networks DSP optical cable test adapters: test the use of high performance cable management software (CableManagerTM) on Dual-Wavelength cable links ), it is convenient to store the test results of the optical cable link and generate the test report dual-optical fiber Bidirectional test.
