The LC test cable kit from Softing IT Networks is a specially designed accessory set for 3-jumper referencing and measurement in singlemode fibre optic links, particularly for use with the WireXpert MP network analyser. The kit is designed for fibre optic installations with LC/PC connectors and serves for precise determination of optical power and fault localisation in fibre optic cables. The components are assembled to enable the necessary reference connections for measurement according to common standards.

Applications
This kit is primarily used in the installation, maintenance, and diagnosis of fibre optic communication networks, especially in environments where optical signal transmission occurs via singlemode fibres. It is suitable for users working with the WireXpert MP who require reliable referencing for their measurements. Typical applications include telecommunications, data networks, or industrial applications where high signal quality and low attenuation are required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The set includes a total of six components necessary for a complete 3-jumper measurement. These include two identical singlemode test cables with LC/PC connectors, designated as transmitters (TX), as well as two additional identical cables serving as receivers (RX). Furthermore, two additional singlemode test cables with LC/PC connectors are included for referencing purposes. The cables are designed for use in fibre optic links with LC/PC connectors and enable precise measurement of optical attenuation and reflection.

Technology Explained Simply
The 3-jumper referencing is a standard procedure in fibre optic diagnostics, where three cables serve as references for measurement to determine the actual attenuation of the link under test. The LC/PC connectors used are a common connector type in fibre optic technology, providing a secure and sealing connection. The term singlemode refers to the fibre type, which transmits only one light mode and is therefore suitable for high transmission rates and long distances. The cables are designed for use with the WireXpert MP network analyser, which evaluates and visualises the measurement values.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is specifically developed for use with the WireXpert MP network analyser from Softing IT Networks. The components are designed for fibre optic links with LC/PC connectors and enable compatible and standardised measurement. The included LC/PC duplex couplers serve as connection elements between the cables and allow for flexible arrangement of the measurement setup. The LC OneClick fibre optic connector cleaner is a special cleaning tool for maintaining the connectors, ensuring a clean and tight connection.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply connecting the test cables to the appropriate ports of the WireXpert MP and the fibre optic link under test. The cables are equipped with LC/PC connectors, enabling quick and secure connections. The duplex couplers serve as intermediate connections to link the cables in the required configuration. Cleaning of the connectors is done using the included LC OneClick cleaner to avoid measurement errors caused by contamination.

Advantages in Operation
The kit provides a standardised and reproducible method for measuring fibre optic links. The use of specific cables and couplers ensures high measurement accuracy. The included soft carrying case enables compact and protective storage of the components, increasing transport and storage safety. The combination of test cables, couplers, and cleaning tool creates a complete and self-contained measurement environment that requires no additional components.
