MaxTester 945 - Fiber certifier OLTS

Overview
Optimized for Tier-1 fiber certification (data center, enterprise) and designed to help installation contractors, network engineers and IT maintenance technicians achieve faster, first-time-right-system acceptance.

Key features

  • 7-inch high resolution touchscreen–the widest screen in the industry
  • Leading FasTesT™ performances: certifies two fibers at two wavelengths under three seconds
  • Onboard assistant and diagnosis to eliminate reference errors and negative loss
  • Built-in Encircled-Flux compliancy as per ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC
  • 100% automated fiber inspection: one-step process with pass/fail analysis at both ends of the fiber
  • Certifies against multiple industry standards at once

Applications

  • Data centers
  • Enterprise structured cabling
