The Fluke Networks CFP2100QNW CertiFiber Pro/Versiv 2 Kit with Quad OTDR (Non-Wireless Version) helps cabling professionals accomplish more than ever. It's all about accurate, error-free certification, making jobs easier to manage and certifying fiber optic cabling to industry standards, faster. The CFP2-100-Q-NW CertiFiber Pro Multi-mode OLTS complies with all applicable cabling standards, which call out the new Encircled Flux launch condition requirements for optical sources. It's not just for the expert technicians and Project Managers. Individuals of various skill levels can improve the set-up, operation, test reporting, and simultaneously manage diverse projects.

Installing a high performance fiber optic fiber optic cabling system starts with systems design and ends with systems acceptance. Certifying cabling to industry performance standards is a core element of the process. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that slow the process down - setting the tester up incorrectly, testing to the wrong limits, dirty fiber endfaces causing testing failures, waiting for lead technicians to analyze or troubleshoot failures, misinterpretation of results, and test reports that customers can't understand.

The Versiv 2 Cabling Certification Product Family has a modular design with swappable testing modules that provide four types of testing (copper and fiber optic cabling, and Ethernet and Wi-Fi network cabling) plus report generation software and a cloud service for managing jobs. Its ProjX System manages job requirements and progress from setup to systems acceptance, making sure all tests are completed correctly. The Taptive User Interface simplifies set up, eliminates errors and speeds up troubleshooting. It even lets users upload and integrate results from multiple testers at multiple jobsites so users can quickly generate reports with the de-facto industry standard LinkWare PC.

Detailed View of Fiber Loss Results

View the results of each fiber tested at the same time and the Pass/Fail status on the test results screen. Easily identify the fiber type, test limits, loss and which fiber correlates to each result. All good results are highlighted with a green icon, any faulty events are highlighted with red icons and fibers are identified as output or input to facilitate quick identification and corrective action. The Taptive user interface also makes the results screen a powerful tool with a detailed window which can be touched to drill down and see detailed results.

Create, Manage and Select Projects

As part of the Versiv 2 family, the CFP2-100-Q-NW incorporates ProjX to ease job set-up, minimize test limit errors and better manage multiple projects. Project managers and technicians can create new projects for different jobs, locations or customers and or easily define project requirements for each job ahead of time - including all tests parameters and cable IDs - then keep track of job progress. All project detail information is stored in LinkWare for easy transfer to other Versiv 2 cabling certification testers.

The ProjX management system allows project specifications to be loaded and saved into the tester ahead of time. As the tester moves from job to job, the project list is easily accessible and users can quickly see detail data such as percentage of links tested, percentage to completion and percentage of results exported.

Dynamic Project and User Profile Management

CFP2-100-Q-NW CertiFiber Pro increases efficiency by allowing field technicians access to project based settings entered at the time of set-up. This minimizes set-up errors or lost files when switching from one job to another or utilizing multiple testers on a single job more. Setting limits and establishing cable ID sets is easy with the Taptive user interface. And once the technicians start testing, the progress of each project is easily monitored.

ProjX Management System specific benefits are: Real time status to completion on each job 0-100%, giving the operator the "Fix Later" option to isolate any test requiring a second look and helps to assure nothing is overlooked. The "Fix Later" selection creates a punch list or automatic "to do" list for correcting any workmanship issues.

Managing the testing of multiple jobs with multiple teams, testers, and requirements is time consuming and can be hard to manage. Increasingly larger jobs make project organization more important than ever. The new ProjX management system on the CFP2-100-Q-NW CertiFiber Pro assigns a name for all job specifics. This eliminates the need to ever have to re-enter test limits or other job details after starting a project or returning to it after a different job. This minimizes set-up errors or lost files when switching from one job to another or utilizing multiple testers on a single job, enabling project managers and crew leaders to be more efficient.

Selecting Reference Method

The key to good test results is tester set-up. The CFP2-100-Q-NW CertiFiber Pro refers to the settings already chosen for the project and guides the technician through setting a reference - taking the guesswork out of getting ready to test in the field.

Set Reference

Setting a reference no longer has to be a challenge. The CFP2-100-Q-NW has set a reference wizard function to guide the technician through setting a reference and checking test reference cords. The animated set-up helps reduce optical loss testing set-up errors that often result in confusing negative loss readings.

LinkWare PC Management Software

With LinkWare PC Management software, CFP2-100-Q-NW CertiFiber 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 PC provides automated statistical reports. This application moves users above and beyond the page-per-link report to see their entire cabling infrastructure in one summary. It analyzes and transforms test results into charts to reveal cabling plant performance. The report even summarizes the entire cabling infrastructure in a compact, graphical format so it's easy to verify margins and spot anomalies. Previous versions of LinkWare PC are backwards compatible with new versions, so users can stay current and integrate tests from different testers into one-test report.

LinkWare

Combine OLTS Tier 1 (basic), OTDR Tier 2 (extended) and fiber inspection images and 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 business tools simple. No matter which Fluke Networks cabling certification tester being used, LinkWare PC reports it all.
