General
Connector type	SC/PC

This product is a test cable kit for multimode fibre, designed for 1-jumper referencing and measurement in fibre optic links with SC/PC connectors. It is manufactured by Softing IT Networks and specifically designed for use with WireXpert MP test instruments. The kit enables precise analysis of fibre optic links, particularly for determining losses and verifying the integrity of connections. The components are selected to ensure reliable and reproducible measurements, with the use of SC/PC connectors ensuring standardisation and compatibility with common installations.

Applications
This kit is designed for use in networks with multimode fibre, particularly in local area networks (LAN) or building cabling, where SC/PC connectors are standard. It is used to verify the performance of fibre optic links, for example during commissioning, maintenance, or fault diagnosis. The 1-jumper referencing allows precise measurement by subtracting the losses of the test cable itself from the measurement, which is especially important for short links.

Features and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes a total of five components: two multimode test cables for the transmit channel (TX) and two for the receive channel (RX), each with SC/PC connectors at both ends. These cables serve as reference cables to calibrate the measurement results. Additionally, an SC/PC duplex coupling is included, which is used to connect the cables or to adapt to different connector types. A OneClick fibre optic connector cleaner for SC, FC, ST, and E2000 connectors ensures clean contacts, which is crucial for accurate measurement results. The components are delivered in a soft carry bag, which ensures organised transport and protection against damage.

Technology Explained Simply
The use of multimode fibre enables the transmission of light signals over short to medium distances, typically in local networks. SC/PC connectors are a standard connection in fibre optic communication, with SC referring to the connector type and PC referring to the polished end face. The polished end face minimises reflections and ensures a stable optical connection. The 1-jumper referencing is a method where a single cable serves as a reference to eliminate measurement uncertainty caused by the test cable itself. This increases measurement accuracy, especially for short links, where cable losses make up a larger proportion of total losses.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is specifically developed for use with WireXpert MP test instruments offered by Softing IT Networks. Compatibility with SC/PC connectors ensures it can be used in many common fibre optic installations. The included duplex coupling allows connection of two SC/PC connectors, which is helpful during installation or when connecting to other devices. The OneClick cleaner is universally applicable for various connector types, increasing the kit's flexibility.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by connecting the test cables to the fibre optic link under test, with the TX and RX cables connected to the respective channels. The duplex coupling can be used for extension or to adapt to different connector types. Before measurement, it is recommended to clean the connector end faces with the included cleaner to avoid measurement errors due to contamination. The soft carry bag serves as a transport and storage solution to protect the components from mechanical damage.

Operational Advantages
The kit provides a compact and complete solution for fibre optic testing. The pre-assembled test cables and integrated cleaning solution reduce preparation time and increase the reliability of measurement results. The use of SC/PC connectors ensures high compatibility with existing installations. The soft carry bag ensures organised storage and facilitates transport to different test locations. The 1-jumper referencing enables precise measurement, which is particularly advantageous for short links.
