General
Connector type	SC/PC

This product is an SC test cable kit for singlemode fibre, designed for 3-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 standardised measurement of optical transmission links, where the test cables and couplers used ensure the necessary referencing for accurate results. The components are specifically designed for use with the WireXpert MP test device to maximise measurement accuracy and repeatability.

Applications
This kit is intended for professional installation, maintenance, and diagnosis of fibre optic cable systems in the field of data communication. It is particularly used during commissioning, maintenance work, or fault finding in existing fibre optic links. The kit is used in environments where high measurement accuracy and reliability are required, such as in data centres, telecommunications, or industrial networks. Compatibility with the WireXpert MP system makes it a standard tool for technicians working with fibre optic infrastructures.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes a total of six components required to perform a 3-jumper measurement. These include two identical SM test cables with SC/PC connectors, intended for TX and RX directions. Additionally, two further SM test cables with SC/PC connectors are included, serving as reference cables. The cables are designed for singlemode fibre, enabling high bandwidth and low attenuation over long distances. Two SC/PC duplex couplers serve as connection elements between the cables and the test device. A OneClick Fibre Optic Connector Cleaner for SC, FC, ST, and E2000 connectors is also included, to clean the optical end faces before and after measurement, which is crucial for clean measurement results. The entire equipment is delivered in a Soft carrying bag, which protects the sensitive components during transport and storage.

Technology Explained Simply
The 3-jumper method is an established procedure for accurately determining optical attenuation in fibre optic links. It uses three cables: two reference cables (TX and RX) and a third cable simulating the link to be measured. The measurement is performed with the WireXpert MP, a professional network test device that analyses the optical properties of the link. SC/PC connectors are a standard connection in fibre optic communication, providing a secure mechanical connection and good optical alignment. The singlemode fibre enables high data transmission rates over long distances, as it supports only one light mode, minimising signal distortion. The OneClick cleaning ensures that no contamination on the end faces affects the measurement results.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is specifically developed for use with the WireXpert MP test device and meets the requirements for 3-jumper referencing. SC/PC connectors are universally applicable in fibre optic systems using this connector type. The included couplers are designed for duplex connections, enabling the connection of multiple cables in a link. The cleaning tool is compatible with various connector types, including SC, FC, ST, and E2000, increasing the versatility of the kit.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by connecting the test cables to the WireXpert MP and the fibre optic link to be tested. The cables are connected according to TX and RX directions, with the duplex couplers serving as intermediate connections. The connector end faces are cleaned before and after measurement using the included OneClick cleaner. The soft carrying bag serves as a transport and protective container and is used for storage. No special tools or additional mounting aids are required.

Operational Advantages
The kit provides a standardised and reproducible method for measuring fibre optic links, simplifying fault diagnosis and quality assurance. The use of SC/PC connectors and singlemode fibre ensures high measurement accuracy. The included cleaning tools and the soft carrying bag increase the reliability and lifespan of the components. Compatibility with the WireXpert MP system enables seamless integration into existing measurement processes.
