SimpliFiber Pro makes ﬁber-link veriﬁcation and troubleshooting

even simpler.

SimpliFiber Pro makes

testing simple

Fluke Networks’ SimpliFiber® Pro

Optical Power Meter incorporates

new and innovative features to give

technicians a tool that performs and

reports test results like no other

ﬁrst-line ﬁber test tool can.

The only way to accurately test

and verify the performance of your

ﬁber-optic network is with test

equipment designed for the job.

The SimpliFiber® Pro Optical Power

Meter and Fiber Test Kits is a suite

of affordable and easy-to-use ﬁber

veriﬁcation test solutions. Today’s

high bandwidth premise networks

heavily rely on ﬁber-optic

infrastructure. Proper installation

and maintenance of ﬁber cabling is

imperative to improve technician

productivity and ensure cabling

system performance.

See how Fluke Networks’ suite

of innovative installation and

test solutions improves techni-

cian productivity and ensures

cabling system performance.

SimpliFiber Pro is an improved ﬁber test set

that simpliﬁes and shortens the front-line

testing process by:

• reducing the multiple steps and

using a simultaneous dual-wavelength

testing feature to measure the range of

power levels in just half the time

• allowing for a non-touch solution to

check for a live ﬁber without having

to plug into ports

• enabling a network technician to do

time-consuming procedures that

normally require a team

SimpliFiber® Pro Optical Power Meter and

Fiber Test Kits provide you with all the tools

you need to help you verify proper installation

and maintain ﬁber-optic cabling systems.

Available in kits or a la carte, these tools are

simple and effective and provide you with the

capability to measure loss and power levels,

locate faults and polarity issues, and inspect

connector end-faces.

A system approach

SimpliFiber Pro is a product suite that allows

you to match products and functionality to

your needs. SimpliFiber Pro is made up of four

unique ﬁber platforms: the power meter, the

multimode source, the singlemode source,

and the FindFiberTM Remote ID source.

Each platform has uniquely competitive

features, bundled in convenient kits, to

meet the needs of today’s technicians.

The optical power meter is included in all kits

and is calibrated for accuracy at six different

wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550,

1625). The meter features the ability to save

a reference power level, allowing a direct

display of ﬁber loss. It also has an intuitive

four-button panel, a large LCD display screen,

and a serial port. The meter’s single connec-

tor permits simple network connection and

straightforward reference power measurement.

Interchangeable connector adapters are

available in the most popular connector styles.

The multimode source is a dual wavelength

850/1300 source and incorporates an 850 nm

LED and a 1300 nm LED, perfect for

multimode ﬁber testing. You can add an

optional singlemode 1310/1550 source to

any kit as your testing needs evolve. These

laser sources are ideal for all singlemode ﬁber

testing. All sources are compatible with the

SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter.

The FindFiber™ Remote ID source is a new

platform in the Fluke Networks family. When

used with the optical power meter, these

remote ID sources allow for quick and easy

cable-routing identiﬁcation.

User-friendly

Although they are effective as separate tools,

the SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter and

sources are engineered to work together.

The automatic wavelength-sensing feature of

the meter identiﬁes the source wavelength

and sets itself appropriately so you do not

have to. This simpliﬁes multi-wavelength

tests and saves at each wavelength to pre-

vent costly measurement errors. The compact

SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter and

sources are durable and rugged. They feature

textured, impact-resistant covers and a

compact, ergonomic shape for a comfortable

and secure grip. Long battery life assures

hours of trouble-free operation.

Verify optical loss and power levels

The SimpliFiber Pro optical power meter is

calibrated for accuracy at 850 nm, 1300 nm,

1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm and 1625 nm.

The meter features the ability to save a

reference power level, allowing a direct

display of ﬁber loss. It has an intuitive

four-button panel, a large LCD display screen,

and a USB port to upload test results to a PC

running LinkWare™ Cable Test Management

Software. SimpliFiber Pro sources include a

dual-wavelength 850/1300 nm source and

dual-wavelength 1310/1550 nm source.

The FindFiberTM Remote ID sources transmit

at 1310 nm.

Conduct pre-testing with

minimal resources

The FindFiber™ remote ID sources allow you

to identify the physical location of cabling

runs to ensure polarity and the correct

location on each ﬁber drop (Figure 1 and

Figure 2). This time-saving feature enables a

single technician to quickly perform double-

ended testing – ideal for pre-testing a job

site before any adds, moves, or changes.

Ensure smooth, clean ﬁber connections

Inspect the ends of ﬁber-optic connectors

with Fluke Networks’ handheld FiberInspec-

tor™ Mini video microscope or FiberViewer™

microscopes. All options ensure your termina-

tion is smooth, clean, and ready for optical

transmission. The FT500 FiberInspector Mini

can be used in any live ﬁber installation and

provides 200x viewing. The FT120 FiberViewer

provides 200x magniﬁcation for inspecting

multimode ﬁber end-faces while the

FT140 FiberViewer offers 400x viewing for

singlemode installations. Both FiberViewer

microscopes contain a special safety ﬁlter

to minimize the risk of eye exposure to

harmful infrared rays.

Verify and locate faults

Diagnose and repair simple ﬁber link

problems with Fluke Networks’ VisiFault™

Visual Fault Locator (VFL). The laser-powered

VisiFault locates ﬁbers, veriﬁes continuity

and polarity, and helps ﬁnd breaks in cables,

connectors, and splices. Continuous and

ﬂashing modes make for easier identiﬁcation.

Compatible with 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm

(with optional adapter) connectors for

easy connection.

Reporting made simple

Manage test results, print professional

reports, or export data into spreadsheet
