Cable certifier series
11 June 2009
Ideal Industries, has introduced the LanTEK II cable certifier series that provide certification to TIA, ISO and IEC LAN cabling standards. Additionally, Ideal has announced the FiberTEK FDX fibre optic modules that allow the LanTEK II to certify multi-mode and single mode fibre to TSB Tier 1 standards.
Cable certifier series
The three LanTEK II models (frequency ranges of 350MHz, 500MHz and 1GHz) have a 10.5cm widescreen display and improved Lithium-Ion batteries with up to 18 hours of field use, the range provides reduced cost of ownership by eliminating expensive permanent link adaptors. The DUALmode test function enables the user to test a copper link against two different standards with a single Autotest. This makes it easy to test a link to current standards, as well as measure the performance margin against future standards with higher performance requirements.
The FiberTEK FDX modules for certifying fibre links or backbones plug into the adapter bay of the LanTEK II certifier. A single strand of fibre connected between the handsets is tested at two wavelengths and in both directions at once. Fibre length is accurately measured as well. Never before has it been possible to measure a single strand of fibre and report the length and all four insertion loss tests without swapping test instruments or connectors.
