APPLICATION NOTE

OptiFiber® Pro Series OTDRs

Overview

The OptiFiber Pro® Series OTDRs are the Tier 2 (extended) fiber certification solution for Datacenters, Outside Plant (OSP), FTTx and PON environments and are part of the Versiv™ Cabling Certification system. The system includes copper certification and OLTSmodules. Versiv is designed around the revolutionary ProjX™ management system and Taptive™ user interface. ProjX tracks jobs to ensure they’re done correctly the first time, thus reducing rework. With the intuitive Taptive user interface, instrument set-up and operation are so simple, even operators with limited cabling skills can successfully test and troubleshoot a system. Analysis of measurement data and professional test reports are easy with the familiar LinkWare™ management software.

Troubleshoot and Document Fiber Faster

Fluke Networks’ OptiFiber Pro Series OTDRs are designed to make every level of user more efficient whether working in data centers, outside plant, FTTx or PON applications. Novice users can set up and shoot traces in no time by using the Auto OTDR function which analyzes the fiber under test and then chooses appropriate settings. The EventMap™ feature analyzes traces like an expert, calculating overall loss and reflectance, indicating events such as splices, splitters bends and connectors. Experts can use these settings as the starting point for the Expert Manual Mode to experiment with the trace and uncover details of interest. OptiFiber Pro features an advanced touchscreen interface with pinch and zoom for analysis that’s not only deep, but simple to master.

OptiFiber Pro’s patented SmartLoop™ capability enables automated testing and analysis of two fibers in a single test in compliance with standards requirements. Not only does this cut the testing time by at least half, but it also allows the tech to immediately see bi-directional averaged test results without moving the OTDR to the far end or using external software.

As a member of the of the Versiv family, OptiFiber Pro offers a single user interface to cover a wide variety of fiber types and wavelengths: 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nm along with optional modules for copper and Tier 1 (optical loss) certification and fiber inspection. A single report for an entire job can quickly be generated for all supported media types using the industry standard LinkWare software.

Unique features:

  • Taptive user interface puts advanced data analysis, easy set-up and operation at the fingertips of of technicians of all skill levels.
  • SmartLoop OTDR enables automated testing and analysis of two fibers in a single test, eliminating the need to travel to the far end of the connection to perform tests.
  • Multiple wavelengths support a variety of applications: 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, 1625 nm.
  • Splitter detection for automated discovery of splitters. Up to 3 cascaded splitters may be found or manually configured.
  • Macrobend detection for automatic identification of bends.
  • Expert Manual Mode – simplifies experimentation which allows you to zero in on the part of the trace that interests you.
  • Ability to edit or add events – Add 0 dB events, such as perfect splices, not seen by the OTDR or change an event to the correct type: APC connector, a splice or loss event.
  • Span a portion of a link – allows you to select a segment of fiber for analysis within a longer segment. Span allows you to test only the portion for which you are responsible.
  • Stackable results and batch processing of traces. When testing many identical fibers at a time, batch processing allows users to look at multiple traces and stack them to spot differences and/or batch edit events quickly.
  • Compatible with LinkWare™ Live. LinkWare Live enables you to easily track job progress, get real-time access to test results to quickly fix problems in the field, and easily transfer and consolidate test results from the tester to LinkWare™ PC Cable Test Management Software.

Performance:

  • Test times as short as two seconds in Quick Test mode.
  • Quickly test datacenter fiber with pre-programmed settings.
  • Auto OTDR modes analyze fiber runs to set key parameters: Range, Pulse Width, and Averaging Time, enabling any user to test like an expert. Expert Manual Mode allows users to easily modify these parameters to zero in on important details.
  • Troubleshoot datacenter fiber links with short patch cables and many connectors because of ultra short dead zones.
  • Easily characterize all connectors, splices and areas of high loss with graphical EventMap view.
  • Pass/Fail certification of fiber optic connector endfaces.
  • Document-only reporting for OSP applications.
  • ProjX management system increases return on investment by reducing errors.
  • Reduce network downtime by quickly and precisely identifying faults on all fiber types.
  • Built-in Visual Fault Locator (VFL) easily identifies damaged fibers.

Standards:

  • Full OTDR capability that certifies fiber performance based on industry standards or customer specifications
  • Complaint with ISO and TIA standards

Unique Certification with Flexibility and Efficiency

An important aspect in maximizing an OTDR’s value is to properly plan its day-to-day usage. With the ProjX management system, OptiFiber Pro allows a project manager to define each user’s role, settings and the associated tasks to be performed – transforming the OTDR into an all-in-one fiber testing tool complete with planning, inspection, certification and reporting.

Advantages:

  • Powerful ProjX management system facilitates OTDR sharing with clear job assignment for each operator
  • Easy monitoring of job progress with pass/fail or document only results
  • Built-in Visual Fault Locator (VFL) to facilitate troubleshooting
  • On-screen report generation and upload to LinkWare™ application
  • Integrated Wi-Fi allows you to easily upload results to LinkWare™ Live

Taptive User Interface

Most OTDRs are designed for a myriad of applications, causing the user interface to be difficult to navigate and interpret. OptiFiber Pro has the Taptive user interface which combines the latest “gesture-based” interface technology with a capacitive touchscreen to deliver the most innovative and user-friendly OTDR.

At Home in the Datacenter

Driven by server virtualization and multi-gigabit links between servers, networks and storage, the datacenter architecture employs more patch cords and dense topology connectors, rendering carrier-class OTDRs with long dead-zones ineffective. OptiFiber Pro not only makes fiber deployment in datacenters possible, but provides the highest level of accuracy for quick problem resolution.

Advantages:

  • Ultra-short event and attenuation dead-zones allows precise location of events and faults on fiber links
  • Datacenter OTDR™ mode automatically sets the configuration to quickly test datacenter fiber
  • The EventMap feature depicts fiber events in a way that requires no trace analysis expertise

Extremely short event and attenuation dead zone for the Enterprise OptiFiber Pro leverages the most sophisticated optical technology to provide the shortest event dead zone (0.5 m typical for MM) and attenuation dead zone (2.5 m typical for MM and 3.6 m typical for SM) of any OTDR. This technological advancement allows OptiFiber Pro to detect and measure closely spaced faults where no other OTDR can in today’s connector-rich datacenter and storage area network environments.

Two second trace per wavelength Another breakthrough with OptiFiber Pro is the data acquisition speed. While in Quick Test mode, a complete set of data are acquired in as little as two seconds per wavelength. OptiFiber Pro then analyzes the data and displays it as an EventMap event, Table or Trace. The end result is less time spent testing and more time performing other tasks.

DataCenter OTDR™ Mode With a simple one-touch selection, users enter DataCenter OTDR mode – without setup time for fine tuning as needed in legacy OTDRs. DataCenter OTDR mode automatically detects OTDR parameters – end-detection algorithms, pulse widths – without getting confused by the short links or number of connectors.

Graphical EventMap view To eliminate the learning curve associated with reading an OTDR trace, OptiFiber Pro’s advanced logic automatically interprets the information to create a detailed and graphical map of events that includes connectors, splices and anomalies. To accommodate different preferences, users can easily switch between the EventMap, the Event Table and the Trace for test details. Any faulty events will be highlighted with RED icons to facilitate quick troubleshooting.

On-screen “help” suggests corrective action(s) for resolving fiber problems during each testing step. The “help” offered is context sensitive which allows users to quickly pinpoint possible resolutions. An easy-to-read, gray icon in the bottom, left-hand corner shows detailed corrective action recommendations.

Dynamic project and user profile management with ProjX management system OptiFiber Pro enhances job efficiency by allowing the project manager to create and manage operator and job profiles per project. Defined jobs or sets of cable IDs can be assigned to specific operators. The progress and status of each project can also be easily monitored.

SmartLoop OTDR

The award-winning SmartLoop OTDR enables automated testing and analysis of two fibers in a single test while meeting standards requirements. This patented process automatically separates the two fibers for individual pass/fail analysis, display, and reporting. Not only does this cut the testing time by at least half, it also enables instant bi-directional averaged test results without moving the OTDR to the far end. In addition to getting the job done quicker, SmartLoop meets the standards requirements of leaving the launch and tail fibers in their initial locations during both bi-directional tests. SmartLoop OTDR further enhances the ease and speed of testing in environments where the far end is difficult of even dangerous to reach because the OTDR never has to be moved to the far end.

Test it right and test it fast with SmartLoop – included for free in all OptiFiber Pro modules.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Modules for Outside Plant Applications

OptiFiber Pro HDR has a dynamic range up to 42 dB and adds new wavelengths for outside plant/FTTx/PON testing requirements. Three wavelength combinations are available depending upon your requirements:

  • 1310 / 1550 nm
  • 1310 / 1490 / 1550 nm
  • 1310 / 1550 / 1625 nm

Splitter detection

OptiFiber Pro HDR is optimized for FTTx/PON testing through splitters. 1x16 and 1x32 are most commonly found today but OptiFiber Pro HDR is future proofed for testing even nx128 splitters. With its Discover function, you can automatically locate splitters and their ratios. Up to 3 cascaded splitters can be configured in the setup.

OptiFiber Pro HDR provides two PON test suites: Auto PON OTDR and Manual PON OTDR:

  • Auto PON OTDR – The tester automatically selects settings that give you the best view of the events on OSP (outside plant) cabling. The tester automatically uses the DISCOVER function to identify splitters. This mode is the easiest to use and is the best choice for most applications.
  • Manual PON OTDR – This mode lets you select settings to control the parameters of the trace. You can also enter the ratios of splitters that you know are on the link or use the DISCOVER function to locate splitters and identify their ratios.

Macrobend detection

A bend in a fiber cable, if pulled around a sharp corner for instance, allows light to escape from the fiber’s core. The resulting macrobend may be a risk for mechanical or optical failure. OptiFiber Pro automatically identifies bends and their location by comparing the loss of an event at multiple wavelengths.

Expert Manual Mode

Starting with settings from Auto OTDR mode, Expert Manual Mode allows the user to quickly experiment with settings to uncover details of interest:

  • Easy to use manual settings – simplifies experimentation via on the trace screen
  • Change the range, pulse width, averaging time, and wavelength
  • Try the setting out before saving

Edit events

When testing or certifying fiber runs, you want the test results to reflect the links as-built. Sometimes an OTDR can misidentify or not find all the actual events within a link. The Edit Event function provides users with the ability to edit, add or remove events including:

  • Changing an event to: an APC connector, a splice or a loss event
  • Allows the insertion of a splice, as a 0dB event, at a given location when the splice is hidden due to noise or the splice loss is lower than the minimum detection threshold
  • Once the event is modified, the PASS/FAIL status of the link will be updated to reflect the modification
  • APC connectors may be identified as a splice instead of as an APC connector because they are non-reflective like a splice. This can cause problems since the loss budget for a splice is less than that of an APC connector. Allowing you to edit the splice and change it to an APC connector allows the loss budget to be calculated correctly for the link.
  • Edited events are marked in reports so they can easily be identified as having been edited

When testing a fiber run (particularly in outside plant applications) you may only be interested in a small section of the cabling. For example, if you are repairing a short section of a longer trunk, span allows you to define the start and end of your short section so that the OTDR analyzes only the section that you repaired.

  • Provides the ability to perform PASS/FAIL analysis on a section of fiber under test
  • PASS/FAIL analysis is only generated for events located with the span distance
  • Events outside the span range are evaluated as info only

Fiber Endface Inspection and Certification

OptiFiber Pro incorporates the FiberInspector Pro video inspection system which enables you to quickly inspect and certify fiber end-faces inside ports or patch cords. Its 1-second automated PASS/FAIL grading eliminates human subjectivity and enables anyone to become a fiber inspection expert. Results can be saved in the certification report along side OptiFiber Pro’s OTDR results.

Rugged Metal LC Connectors

Fluke Networks Test Reference Cords and Launch Fibers with LC connectors feature our unique metal latch design. Traditional LC connectors use a single-piece plastic design that flexes the latching mechanism each time the connector is inserted and removed and eventually breaks, making them unsuitable for repeated use in testing. The Fluke Networks Metal LC latching system uses a multi-piece metal design with a spring located between the latch and connector body. Since this latch is not part of the body and does not flex, the life of the latching mechanism is greatly improved, thereby extending the life of the LC connector and therefore the TRC’s and launch cords.

The Metal LC connector is compliant with IEC 61754-20 and TIA-604-10B intermateability standards. That latch has also been tested for up to 10,000 insertions with no degradation in performance and passes all Telecordia GR-326-CORE durability tests including thermal, humidity, vibration, flex, impact, and salt spray. While the connector itself is the most rugged available, the glass fiber endface is still susceptible to damage, so it’s important to inspect the endface to make sure it’s contaminant-free and to properly clean it if necessary.

LinkWare Live

LinkWare Live is a Software as a Service from Fluke Networks for cabling professionals managing multiple projects that quickly, easily and affordably provides unmatched job visibility and superior project control from anywhere at anytime.

LinkWare Live provides an easy to read dashboard that shows an overview of the project status and a project activity to ensure projects are completed on time. It removes the hurdles in data management by giving the ability to directly upload and consolidate test results from multiple testers. You can quickly validate projects and test results in real-time with browser based ease to avoid any future rework due to incorrect testing or missing test results. Use any smart device with a browser to validate and check projects or test results. LinkWare™ Cable Test Management Software also connects to the LinkWare Live service enabling you to download test results into the LinkWare PC Cable Test Management Software to generate professional reports in a common format.

The OptiFiber Pro OTDR connects to the LinkWare Live Service to directly upload results from the tester which provide access to test-results in real-time from anywhere.

LinkWare™ Management Software

With LinkWare management software, OptiFiber Pro users can easily access the ProjX management system data, generate reports and upgrade the software in their testers. Project managers have full capabilities to monitor workflow and consolidate test results. LinkWare Stats provides automated statistical reports. This application moves you above and beyond the page-per-link report to see your entire cabling infrastructure in one summary. It analyzes and transforms LinkWare test results into charts to reveal your cabling plant performance. The report even summarizes your entire cabling infrastructure in a compact, graphical format so it’s easy to verify margins and spot anomalies. Previous versions of LinkWare are backwards compatible with new versions, so you can stay current and integrate tests from different testers into one-test report.

Combine OLTS Tier 1 (basic) and OTDR Tier 2 (extended) fiber certification results in a single report while allowing management of multiple jobs simultaneously. Users can provide the finishing touch by adding their company logo to the report and before offering to their customers for system acceptance. Keep your business tools simple. No matter which Fluke Networks cabling certification tester you use, LinkWare reports it all.

Stackable results & batch process of traces via LinkWare PC

LinkWare PC allows for the batch processing of traces so you can quickly and easily make edits to many traces at one time. Stacking traces allows you to visually identify differences between identical fibers, such as strands within a trunk. LinkWare PC does this by allowing multiple traces to be overlaid and stacked with separation so that differences in the graph can easily be spotted.
