Corning Cable Systems simplifies network certification in LAN applications
JULY 9, 2008 -- Corning Cable Systems LLC, part of Corning Inc.'s Telecommunications segment, today introduced its new OTS-600 Series optical sources, meters, testers, and kits with data storage capabilities. Designed with ease of use as a top priority, the series of units maintains all the functionality one expects from an optical tester, claim company representatives.
Corning Cable Systems' OTS-600 Series units have data storage for 10,000 results, USB data transfer interface, and a video inspection probe port. Both the OT-600 and OS-400 units come standard with a 650-nm visual fault locator (VFL) for troubleshooting optical networks. Ease of use has been achieved using a large color LCD screen, soft-key menus, and a testing wizard, say company representative.
The OTS-600 Series features an intuitive certification wizard that takes the user step-by-step through testing. During the testing, the results are shown in tabular format, making it easy for the user to view results. The table shows any saved data for a specified fiber, making reviewing and updating results simple and efficient, notes Corning.
The OTS-600 Series comes with OTS-View reporting software for creating certification reports. The software allows the user to save, upload, manage, and print reports. The software automatically transfers the unit model, serial number, date tested, and other data from user input fields. The output of the report can be printed or stored electronically in HTML format for viewing with any web browser, CSV format for viewing with MS Excel, or TXT for viewing with a document editor.
The OTS-600 Series comes ready for connector inspection with a built-in video probe port and software. The video inspection probe (VIP) allows for the inspection of a fiber optic connector's end-face quality. The resulting images can be used as documentation of end-face quality and cleanliness.
