This product is a test cable kit for the FiberXpert 700 by Softing IT Networks, specifically designed for singlemode fiber applications with LC connectors. It serves as accessory for optical network testing and enables precise analysis of fiber links, particularly in installations with LC connectors. The kit is designed for use in professional environments such as data centers, telecommunication networks, or industrial networks, where reliable and reproducible measurement of fiber quality is required.

Applications
This kit is used in conjunction with the FiberXpert 700 network tester to check the optical properties of singlemode fiber links. This includes measuring attenuation, reflections, and overall performance of the fiber path. The use of reference cables and couplers enables accurate calibration of the measuring device and reproducible measurements under real conditions. It is particularly suitable for commissioning, maintenance, and fault diagnosis of fiber cable installations using LC connectors.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes three central components: one reference cable with SC-LC connector, two reference test cables with LC-LC connectors, and two LC-LC couplers. The reference cables serve as calibration aids to ensure the measurement accuracy of the FiberXpert 700. The LC-LC test cables enable direct connection between the measuring device and the fiber link under test, where the LC connector represents the standard for compact, high-precision fiber connections. The couplers are used to connect multiple cable sections or to integrate into existing installations without requiring additional adapters.

Technology Explained Simply
The cables used are designed for singlemode fibers, meaning they are optimized for light signal transmission over long distances with low attenuation. The LC connectors are compact and offer high mechanical stability and precise optical alignment, which is crucial for measurement accuracy. The reference cables are calibrated to provide a constant and known attenuation value, serving as a basis for measurement value calculation. The couplers allow flexible adaptation of cable connections without compromising optical quality.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is specifically developed for the FiberXpert 700 network tester and is used in conjunction with this device. The components are designed for singlemode fibers and use LC connectors, making them suitable for applications with LC sockets. The cables and couplers are designed as replacement or supplementary parts for existing measurement systems.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply connecting the cables and couplers to the measuring device and the fiber link under test. The reference cables are used for device calibration, connecting the SC-LC connector to the device and the LC-LC connector to the cable. The LC-LC test cables are used for direct measurement of the fiber link. The couplers are used to connect cables or to integrate into existing installations. No special tools or additional components are required.

Operational Advantages
Using this kit ensures high measurement accuracy and reproducibility, as the reference cables calibrate the measurement values. The LC connectors provide a compact and robust connection suitable for professional use. The couplers allow flexible adaptation of cable connections, simplifying installation and maintenance. The kit is specifically developed for use with the FiberXpert 700, ensuring optimal integration and compatibility.
