Microtest Introduces OMNIFiber Adapter for Its OMNIScanner Cable Tester
MTST Minimal Task Spanning Tree ) RF connector Monday announced the introduction of OMNIFiber(TM), an adapter that transforms Microtest's stateoftheart OMNIScanner(TM) copper cable tester A cable tester is an electronic device used to verify the electrical connections in a cable or other wired assembly. Generally a cable tester consists of: A source of electrical current, A volt meter, into a single and multimode fiber An optical fiber with a larger core than singlemode fiber. It is the most commonly used fiber for short distances such as LANs. Light can enter the core at different angles, making it easier to connect the light source to broader light sources such as LEDs. certification tool.
OMNIScanner is the RF Cable Assembly testing industry's most advanced handheld cable certification tool. Introduced summer, 1998, OMNIScanner is the first product to certify Categories 5, 5E and 6 cabling and to provide measurements for Category 7.
"The OMNIFiber represents another first for Microtest; never before has one fiber adapter been capable of supporting measurements for both single and multimode fiber," said Sue Gallego, director of product marketing at Microtest.
OMNIScanner, with the OMNIFiber adapter, provides a onebutton "Autotest" that measures length, loss and propagation delay The time it takes to transmit a signal from one place to another. Propagation delay is dependent solely on distance and two thirds the speed of light. Signals going through a wire or fiber generally travel at two thirds the speed of light. Contrast with nodal processing delay. on both transmit and receive fibers at 850 and 1300 nm simultaneously. It then compares the results to the appropriate industry standard and provides a simple pass/fail indication of the tested link.
With single mode fiber, OMNIScanner measures loss on transmit and receive fibers at 1310 nm.
OMNIFiber continues Microtest's tradition of pioneering fiber testing equipment. Microtest launched its first fiber testing products in 1993: FiberEye and FiberLight simplify the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of fiber optic Local Area Networks. In 1997, it introduced, CertiFiber, the world's first handheld multimode fiber certification tool. list price for the OMNIFiber kit is $2,595, and the kit includes OMNIFiber and OMNIFiber remote units, carrying case, two multimode fiber optic cables, cleaning supplies and documentation.
Founded in 1984, Microtest is a leading worldwide manufacturer of diagnostic certification and connectivity products for networks. Microtest's mission is to make information technology easy to apply.
The company has pioneered several networking products, such as CABLE SCANNER, COMPAS COMPAS Centre on Migration Policy and Society (Oxford University)
COMPAS Center for Observations, Modeling and Prediction At Scripps
COMPAS Congress on Modern PanAfrican Slavery , PentaScanner, OMNIScanner and DiscPort. Microtest is headquartered at
