EXFO's iOLM now features iCERT, an accurate and error-free
fiber certification tool meeting the latest industry standards
(including TIA and ISO).
QUEBEC CITY, Dec. 10, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ:
EXFO; TSX: EXF) announced the release of iCERT on its OTDR-based
software. Available for singlemode and multimode fiber testing, the
iCERT pre-defined test configurations provide quick access to the
latest industry pass/fail thresholds to automatically certify cable
installations in data centers and enterprise. This greatly
simplifies optical link assessment and troubleshooting while
avoiding any risk of getting tampered results due to manual
entering of the wrong pass/fail values or misinterpreting
extensive, complex standards documents.
EXFO's iOLM is an intelligent OTDR-based application that
removes the need to set parameters and analyze multiple complex
OTDR traces. It dynamically defines all test parameters and selects
the optimum number of acquisitions required to deliver better
accuracy. The result is a crystal clear assessment of any fiber
with a detailed diagnosis on failed components, as well as a
professional test report directly generated with no need for
post-processing.
The iOLM provides accurate insertion loss (IL), optical return
loss (ORL) and fiber length measurements, all at the touch of a
single button. Additionally, it will clearly identify faults and
potential problems that can be fixed right away.
By combining iOLM, iCERT and an Encircled Flux (EF)-compliant
launch mode conditioner for multimode environments, as recommended
by the TIA and IEC, EXFO delivers the most precise, repeatable and
intelligent troubleshooting test solution for technicians of any
skill level dispatched to high-speed data centers.
"Bringing the iOLM unique capability into the data center and
enterprise market is yet another milestone in EXFO's vision to help
IT network managers improve global efficiency. Our intelligent and
automated solution finds network faults faster, keeping
mean-time-to-repair low while ensuring networks are ready for the
migration to 40G/100G" said Étienne Gagnon, Vice-President,
Physical-Layer and Wireless Division.
