Fibre/copper test solution

Test & Measurement

30 May 2007 Test & Measurement

Barlow Communications has announced the availability of the new SignalTEK FO, a lightweight, handheld copper and fibre link qualifier. Said to be fast and easy-to-use, it supports core functions required to provide comprehensive testing and verification procedures for both new and existing fibre and copper networks.

From the SignalTEK's one button auto test function, the wiremap and length of CatX installations can be measured, or maximum link speed can be determined, or the cable performance test can be performed. Also, any of a wide array of other diagnostic tests can be carried out including tests for VoIP, web browsing and video over IP.

Performance measurement for fibre links are carried out in exactly the same manner with the exception of 'wiremap' which is replaced with an attenuation test. BERT testing can be performed for copper: 10/100/1000 Mbps and fibre: 1000 Mbps. Error rates are tested to IEEE 802.3ab standards.

Combined with 'user friendly' data storage features, ie, test data can be stored in 'Jobs' and combined with specific customer details, address, telephone number, etc. The SignalTEK FO can also save test data to memory sticks or directly to a PC via USB. Test data can also be printed directly from the tester thereby eliminating the need for any additional PC equipment.
