Softing IT Networks 228307 softing(Psiber) FiberXpert 700, e.g. Singlemode SC cable kit content_copy

The Softing FiberXpert 700 Singlemode SC test cable kit, type FX_700_AC_SM_SC_KIT, is an accessory set for optical network testing, specifically designed for use with the FiberXpert 700 network tester. It enables precise measurement of singlemode fiber cables in SC connector format and allows the performance of reference measurements to determine optical power and losses in fiber optic networks. The kit is designed for professionals in the fields of IT infrastructure, telecommunications, and network installation who value high measurement accuracy and standard compliance.

Applications
This test cable kit is primarily used in fiber optic networks, particularly during the installation, maintenance, and diagnosis of singlemode connections. It is suitable for applications in data centers, broadband networks, industrial communication systems, and other environments where SC connectors and singlemode fibers are used. The reference test cables serve as a basis for calibrating and validating the measuring instruments, ensuring that the measured values accurately reflect the actual losses in the cable system.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The kit includes three singlemode reference test cables in SC-SC format, specifically developed for use with the FiberXpert 700 tester. These cables are manufactured with a core diameter of 9 µm, which corresponds to the standard for singlemode fibers. Additionally, two SC-SC couplers are included, serving as connection elements between the test cables and the fiber links to be tested. The couplers enable a secure and repeatable connection, which is essential for precise measurement results.

Technology Explained Simply
The singlemode test cables are designed for wavelength ranges of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, which are typical for optical networks. The use of reference cables ensures that the measurement results are not influenced by the characteristics of the test cables themselves, but exclusively indicate the losses in the cable system under test. The SC connectors are standardized and provide a secure, mechanically stable connection with low optical losses. The couplers are also SC connectors and serve as intermediate links to connect the test cables to the fiber links being tested.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is specifically developed for use with the FiberXpert 700 network tester from Softing IT Networks. Compatibility is ensured by the specific configuration of the test cables and couplers, which are tailored to the requirements of the device. The cables and couplers are designed for singlemode fibers and support the standard SC connector. No additional components are required to operate the kit.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply connecting the test cables to the fiber links under test via the SC connectors. The couplers serve as connection elements between the test cables and the cables being tested. Connections must be clean and free from contamination to avoid measurement errors. The test cables are pre-calibrated and require no additional adjustment or configuration.

Operational Advantages
The use of this kit ensures high measurement accuracy and reproducibility, as the reference cables and couplers are specifically calibrated for the FiberXpert 700 tester. The standardization of SC connectors enables universal use across various networks. The cables are robust and designed for professional use, ensuring long service life and reliable results. The simple handling and clear structure of the kit facilitate work for field technicians.
