The Fluke Networks OFP2100SNW OptiFiber Pro/Versiv 2 Kit with Single-Mode OTDR (Non-Wireless Version) is a purpose-built OTDR that meets the unique challenges of an enterprise fiber infrastructure. With its simple Taptive user interface and powerful feature set, the OFP2-100-S-NW OptiFiber Pro turns anyone into an efficient and expert premise fiber troubleshooter or installer.

As enterprise networks and datacenter architectures evolve, IT infrastructure administrators demand better OTDR technology to maintain fiber network performance. Many OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers) used for fiber troubleshooting are designed for carriers and contain cumbersome and complicated features that enterprise users don't need. Few OTDRs are built with features and usability for enterprise network engineers, SAN designers and cable installers.

As enterprises consume more storage resources and adopt higher bandwidth (40G, 100G) datacenter architectures, the resilience of the cabling infrastructure becomes highly dependent upon maintenance tools to ensure fiber reliability.

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.

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 ProjX management system, OFP2-100-S-NW 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:

Taptive User Interface

Most OTDRs are designed for a myriad of applications, causing the user interface to be difficult to navigate and interpret. The OFP2-100-S-NW 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.

Optimized for 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. OFP2-100-S-NW not only makes fiber deployment in datacenters possible, but provides the highest level of accuracy for quick problem resolution.

Advantages:

Extremely short event and attenuation dead zone

The OFP2-100-S-NW 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 the OFP2-100-S-NW 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 OFP2-100-S-NW OptiFiber Pro is the data acquisition speed. While in Quick Test mode, a complete set of data is acquired in as little as two seconds per wavelength. OFP2-100-S-NW 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, OFP2-100-S-NW's advance 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.

ProJX Profile

Dynamic project and user profile management with ProjX management system

OFP2-100-S-NW 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

SmartLoop OTDR enables automated testing and analysis of two fibers in a single test while meeting standard's requirements. This patent pending 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. SmartLoop meets the standard's 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. In addition to getting the job done quicker, SmartLoop meets the standard's requirements of leaving the launch and tail fibers in their initial locations during both bi-directional tests.

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

FiberInspector probe

Fiber Endface Inspection and Certification

OFP2-100-S-NW incorporates the FiberInspector Pro video inspection system which enables users to quickly inspect and certify fiber end-faces inside ports or patch cords. It's 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 OFP2-100-S-NW's OTDR results.

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 users above and beyond the page-per-link report to see the entire cabling infrastructure in one summary. It analyzes and transforms LinkWare test results into charts to reveal the 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 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) 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 business tools simple. No matter which Fluke Networks cabling certification tester being used, LinkWare reports it all.
