Softing IT Networks 230500 Softing WireXpert MP FQ LAN Glasfaserkabel-Zertifizierer Multimode und Singlemode content_copy

The WireXpert MP FQ from Softing IT Networks is a professional LAN fibre cable certifier for multimode and singlemode applications. The device is designed for precise testing and certification of fibre networks in accordance with international standards, and is intended for use in network installation, commissioning, and fault diagnosis. It consists of two WireXpert MP mainframes, each equipped with a Dual Control System PLUS (DCS+TM), as well as two fibre measurement modules FQ. These modules integrate light sources for multimode (850 nm and 1300 nm) and singlemode (1310 nm and 1550 nm), a broadband power meter in the range of 700 nm to 1700 nm, and two integrated red light sources with 1.25 mm and 2.5 mm ferrules. The multimode light source complies with the Encircled Flux definition according to IEC 14763-3, enabling standard-compliant measurement without additional calibration.

Applications

The certifier is intended for use in IT infrastructure, by network integrators, electrical installers, and IT technicians. It is suitable for new installations, commissioning processes, and fault diagnosis in fibre networks. The robust construction and mobile use with battery operation make it suitable for use on construction sites. Certification is performed according to current ISO/IEC, TIA, and CENELEC standards, ensuring high acceptance by customers and clients.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features an integrated user guidance system that simplifies the testing process and reduces error rates. The measurement modules are designed for testing multimode and singlemode cables and enable fast and accurate evaluation of optical cable quality. The broadband power measurement from 700 nm to 1700 nm covers a wide spectral range, which is important for analysing different fibre types and applications. The integrated red light sources support visual fibre and connection location. The delivery includes two Li-ion batteries, two power supplies, a carrying bag, a calibration certificate, the evaluation software eXport (available for download), LC and SC adapters for light sources and power meters, two headset units, and a quick start guide.

Technology Explained Simply

The Encircled Flux compliance of the multimode light source ensures that the light distribution in the fibre core meets international standards, enabling precise and reproducible measurements. The DCS+TM technology in the mainframe allows efficient control of the measurement modules and fast data transfer. The broadband power measurement enables analysis of fibres over a wide wavelength range, which is particularly advantageous for complex networks. The red light sources with different ferrule diameters (1.25 mm and 2.5 mm) are suitable for use with various fibre connectors and support visual inspection.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is equipped with interchangeable adapters for common connector interfaces such as LC, SC, and FC. Additionally, optional accessories such as adapter modules with LC or SC interfaces for TX and RX ports, as well as singlemode test cables in various configurations (e.g. LC/APC-LC/APC, SC-LC/APC) can be purchased. A hard-shell case for the WireXpert MP Kit, a camera cover, and a headset are also available as accessories.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed via the integrated adapters connected to the fibre cables. The user guidance system leads the operator through the testing process, with measurement results displayed directly on the device. Results can be documented and evaluated using the eXport evaluation software. The carrying bag enables mobile use, and battery operation ensures use without a power connection.

Operational Advantages

The WireXpert MP FQ offers high measurement speed and accuracy, which are required for professional applications. Standard-compliant certification according to ISO/IEC, TIA, and CENELEC ensures high acceptance of results. The robust construction and mobile use make the device particularly suitable for field applications. The integrated user guidance reduces error susceptibility and accelerates the testing process. The eXport evaluation software enables structured documentation of measurement results.
