zbh. Messkabel Kit für multimode Glasfaser 3-Jumper Referenzierung und Messung content_copy

This product is a test cable kit for multimode fibre, designed for 3-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 test instruments such as the WireXpert MP. The kit enables precise diagnosis and quality control of fibre optic connections in the field of network installation and maintenance. The components are assembled to provide a reliable and reproducible test environment, particularly for determining insertion loss and reflections.

Applications

The kit is intended for the installation, maintenance, and diagnosis of multimode fibre networks, particularly in environments where SC/PC connectors are used. It is suitable for referencing during fibre optic link measurements to verify the performance and integrity of connections. Typical applications include telecommunications, data centre setup, or industrial networks where high measurement accuracy is required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The kit includes a total of six components, providing a structured test environment. The cables are designed for use with the WireXpert MP test instrument, ensuring a compatible and standardised measurement method.

Technology Explained Simply

The SC/PC connectors used are standard components in fibre optic technology, providing a secure and stable mechanical connection. The designation SC/PC refers to the connector type (Subscriber Connector) and the end-face treatment (Physical Contact), which enables optimal light transmission. The multimode fibre (MM) is suitable for short to medium transmission distances and allows higher light power compared to singlemode fibres, which is sufficient for many network applications. The 3-jumper referencing method is an established technique to eliminate measurement errors caused by the test instrument itself and to determine the actual losses in the link under test.

Compatibility and Accessories

The kit is specifically designed for use with the WireXpert MP test instrument, ensuring direct compatibility. The included SC/PC duplex couplers enable the connection of multiple cable sections and serve as intermediate connections during measurement. The integrated OneClick fibre optic end-face cleaner is designed for cleaning connector interfaces and supports reliable measurement results, as dirty end-faces can cause measurement errors. The components are designed for SC connectors, and the cleaner is also suitable for FC, ST, and E2000 connectors.

Installation and Mounting

Installation involves connecting the test cables to the fibre links under test, applying the 3-jumper method. The cables are connected to the test instruments and the links being tested, with duplex couplers serving as intermediate connectors. Cleaning of the connectors with the OneClick cleaner is performed before measurement to remove contamination. The soft carrying case is used for storage and transportation of the components, protecting them from mechanical damage.

Operational Advantages

The pre-assembled combination of components enables quick and error-free setup of the test environment. The use of standardised SC/PC connectors and multimode fibres ensures high compatibility with existing infrastructures. The 3-jumper referencing reduces systematic measurement errors and increases result accuracy. The integrated cleaning solution ensures clean connections and contributes to measurement reliability. The soft carrying case provides organised transport and protection for the sensitive components.
