General
Connector type	SC/PC

The product is an SC test cable kit for singlemode fibre optics, designed for 1-jumper referencing and measurement with the WireXpert MP system. It is used for precise analysis and diagnosis of fibre optic links equipped with SC/PC connectors. The kit enables efficient performance of measurements in the field of optical network infrastructure, particularly during installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of fibre optic cabling systems. The components are specifically tailored to the requirements of professional network technology and support the standardised measurement method for determining optical performance and losses in fibre optic lines.

Applications
This kit is intended for use in professional IT and telecommunications environments, particularly for commissioning, maintenance, and diagnosis of singlemode fibre optic links. It is used in conjunction with the WireXpert MP measuring device to check the optical properties of fibre optic cables. The application is in networks based on SC/PC connectors, commonly used in data centres, corporate networks, and other critical infrastructures. The 1-jumper referencing allows precise measurement by subtracting the losses of the test cable itself as a reference value.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes a total of five components: two singlemode test cables for the TX direction (transmit) and two for the RX direction (receive), each with SC/PC connectors. These cables serve as reference cables for measurement and enable accurate determination of optical performance. Additionally, an SC/PC duplex coupling is included, used to connect the test cables to the cable system under test. A OneClick fibre optic connector cleaner for SC-, FC-, ST-, and E2000 connectors is also included, to clean the connector end faces before and after measurement, thus avoiding measurement errors caused by contamination. The components are assembled in a soft carry bag, which protects the sensitive fibre optic components during transport and storage.

Technology Explained Simply
Singlemode fibre optics enable the transmission of light signals over long distances with low attenuation, making them suitable for high-speed networks. SC/PC connectors are a standard connection in fibre optic infrastructure, where SC denotes the connector type and PC denotes the polished end face. The 1-jumper referencing is a method where a single reference cable is used to minimise measurement uncertainties caused by cable connections. The test cables in the kit are specifically calibrated to ensure consistent and reproducible measurements. The duplex coupling allows connection of two SC/PC connectors, enabling the test cables to be connected to the cable system under test. The OneClick cleaner ensures clean end faces, which is critical for reliable optical connections.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is specifically designed for use with the WireXpert MP measuring device and supports the 1-jumper referencing method. It is designed for singlemode fibre optic links equipped with SC/PC connectors. The included test cables are designated for TX and RX directions, enabling bidirectional measurement. The SC/PC duplex coupling is compatible with SC/PC connectors and serves as a connecting element. The OneClick cleaner is suitable for SC-, FC-, ST-, and E2000 connectors, allowing flexible use with various connector types. The soft carry bag provides protection and organisation for all components.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by connecting the test cables to the WireXpert MP measuring device and the fibre optic cable under test via the SC/PC duplex coupling. The connector end faces must be cleaned with the OneClick cleaner before connection to avoid measurement errors. The test cables are pre-configured for TX and RX directions, so no additional adjustment is required. The soft carry bag facilitates transport and storage of the sensitive components.

Operational Advantages
The kit provides a standardised and precise method for measuring singlemode fibre optic links. The 1-jumper referencing reduces measurement uncertainties and enables reliable diagnosis. The included cleaning tools and protective packaging ensure long component life and prevent contamination. Compatibility with the WireXpert MP measuring device ensures seamless integration into existing measurement processes. The clear structure of the kit simplifies handling and reduces error sources during measurement.
