The IDEAL Network Optical Certifer I (OC 1) Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) for Multimode 850/1300nm and Single-Mode 1310/1550nm is the first tablet-inspired solution that has been specifically designed to certify fiber cabling in LAN, campus and data center networks. The unit's intuitive app-like user interface ensures a minimal learning curve. The OC I fiber certifier offers icon-based functions, instant boot-up, as well as onboard assistance and onboard professional reporting. Certify two fibres at two wavelengths within 2.6 seconds, including optical loss of both fibers, plus length.

Tablet-Inspired Design

With a 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen, the OC I fiber certifier delivers an unprecedented user experience, and the unit's integrated Wi-Fi/Bluetooth allows for high connectivity. The OC I fiber certifier guarantees a full day of fieldwork with 12 hours of battery autonomy and internal memory capacity of 150,000 test results.

Full-Fledged Units at Both Ends

The IDEAL Network OC I fiber certifier gives remote technicians greater visibility and efficiency. Both the main and remote units are full-fledged to maximise the efficiency of each technician. Autotest results with diagnostics are displayed on both units at the end of each test. Both technicians can certify the fiber connectors with a fiber inspection probe via the large touchscreens available on the both units.

Onboard Multistandard Certification

The OC I fiber certifier lets users certify to both cabling and application standards simultaneously with pass/fail results per fiber and per wavelength, as well as link lengths. The User can therefore certify the cabling (i.e., the physical quality of the fiber and its components, such as splices and connectors), as well as the application that the fiber can carry (for instance, the IEEE or Fiber Channel). Additionally, the user can customize any thresholds, per his/her requirements.

Onboard PDF Reporting

The IDEAL Network OC I fiber certifier comes with unique, onboard PDF reporting to convert multiple measurements into a single professional report in a format recognized by industry standards. The reporting includes clear pass/fail certification status against the multiple standards tested, and a summary of the measurements with margins, anomalies, test-cord references and verification. This feature serves as a natural complement to our FastReporter 2 PC-based software, which is designed for batch processing high-count fiber and multiple measurement combinations (e.g., connector certification, loss and OTDR).

Onboard Assistance and Diagnosis

The OC I fiber certifier provides a foolproof method against test-cord reference mistakes and negative loss, thanks to its step-by-step wizard that guides technicians through the referencing and verification process, per industry standards. The OC I fiber certifier goes even further by diagnosing the possible causes for fail results and gives guidance to fix issues.

Flexibility in Various Test Modes

Users can choose between different calibration modes (1, 2 and 3 jumpers), single and bi-directional measurement and testing with two units, as well as testing with one unit in loop mode. This enables the user to test a variety of applications.

Built-in Encircled Flux Compliancy

Each OC I fiber certifier comes with a built-in Encircled Flux (EF)-compliant multimode light source. Furthermore, in order to maximize measurement accuracy and avoid invalid results, IDEAL Networks provides reference-grade test cords in compliance with ISO/IEC 14763-3 standard requirements. These test cords are made from reference-grade connectors, and the fiber used is strictly controlled to ensure proper core size and geometry. For multimode testing, this makes it possible to remain within Encircled Flux template limits at the output of the test cord (in compliance with the industry standards), without the need for an external EF-mode conditioner. These high-quality reference-grade test cords are less fragile than EF-conditioned test cords, helping to reduce overall equipment cost and overhead.

Peace of Mind for Repairs and Calibration

The Fluke Network OC I fiber certifier has been rigorously tested to guarantee the highest standards of reliability and durability. Users can safely use this highly reliable instrument to get accurate test results, while significantly reducing the cost of ownership.
