Atec Certifiber User Manual

The CertiFiber® Pro is the Tier 1 (basic)

fiber certification solution and part of the

Versiv™ Cabling Certification product

family. The Versiv line also includes copper

certification, OTDR and Wi-Fi analysis

modules. Versiv is designed around the

revolutionary ProjX™ management system

and Taptive™ user interface. ProjX helps

ensure jobs are 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.

Get ready to overachieve.

Datasheet: CertiFiber® Pro Optical Loss Test Set

Installing a high performance 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. The faster it goes, the more profitable you’ll be. Unfortunately, there are a lot of
things that slow the process down - setting the tester up incorrectly, testing to the wrong limits,
waiting for lead technicians to analyze or troubleshoot failures, misinterpretation of results, and
test reports that customers can't understand.

The CertiFiber Pro Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) 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. CertiFiber Pro 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.

Unique features:

Performance:

Versiv enables users to accomplish more than ever with a cable tester,
accelerating every step of the testing process
ProjX management system eases tasks from initial set-up of a job to system
acceptance. It eliminates redundant steps, and ensures that all tests are completed
correctly the first time, and every time
Taptive user interface puts advanced data analysis and easy set-up and operation
at the fingertips of technicians of all skill levels
LinkWare management software provides unmatched analysis of test results and
professional test reports

Three-second Autotest optical loss measurement of two fibers at two wavelengths
with distance measurement and optical loss budget calculation
Provides automatic Pass/Fail analysis to industry standards or custom test limits
Identifies incorrect test procedures resulting in negative loss readings
Onboard (USB) inspection camera documents images of fiber optic end-faces
Interchangeable power meter adapters available for all typical connector types (SC,
ST, LC and FC) to enable the most accurate 1-jumper reference method
Built-in visual fault locator for basic troubleshooting and polarity determination
Dual wavelength measurement capability on a single fiber allows the tester to be
used in applications that require only one fiber link
Compliant with TIA-526-14-B and IEC 61280-4-1 Encircled Flux requirements with
no additional equipment or procedures

Standards:

Allows combined OLTS Tier 1 (basic), OTDR Tier 2 (extended) certification, end-face inspection and
reporting when paired with OptiFiber™ Pro OTDR
Set reference wizard verifies test reference cords (TRCs) per ISO/IEC 14763-3 and eliminates
negative loss errors
Encircled Flux compliant optical launch conditions required by ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC standards for
testing multimode fiber

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.

The screen below shows margin and limit values in the window. Simply tap the screen to drill into specific
results as shown in second image.

Complete data is displayed with a test

result. The dotted line shows what's

included in the measurement. Detail

windows show the results for each

fiber tested.

Create, Manage and Select Projects

As part of the Versiv family, the CertiFiber Pro OLTS 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 cabling certification testers.

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

CertiFiber Pro increases efficiency by allowing field technicians access to project based settings entered at the time of set-up. This minimizes set­up 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.

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 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.
