Camplex opticalCON Fiber Optic Cable Tester

Most fiber cable assemblies fail due to lack of proper end-face cleaning. When cleaning is not the issue, the Camplex opticalCON Fiber Optic Cable Tester is the perfect diagnostic tool for all user levels to accurately test and evaluate opticalCON and opticalCON SMPTE cables in the studio and in the field. The Camplex opticalCON Tester is the most cost-effective means to test SMPTE electrical and optical continuity.

The unit includes a comprehensive electrical test circuit to evaluate shield continuity and shorts, a commonly overlooked but important test. Electrical testing scans the power, control and main shield for open circuits and short circuits in opticalCON cables that include electrical conductors.

A Visual Fault Locator (VFL) is used to quickly locate broken fibers and to verify individual fibers for optical continuity. The tester can aid in the measurement of optical power loss and budgets, allowing access to fibers that are not easily accessible within Neutrik opticalCON connectors. The unit can also act as a break out box for the connection of additional fiber optic tools such as fiber light sources, power meters and optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDR).
