Multimode Fiber Mandrels Improve repeatability and consistency of multimode optical loss/power testing with Look to Fluke Networks Multimode Fluke Networks Multimode Fiber Mandrels. Fiber Mandrels to meet current TIA As required by TIA standards, fiber mandrels standards and ensure accurate and are used with a LED source when measuring consistent measurements when optical power loss in multimode fiber optic cabling. testing multimode fiber. In short lengths of multimode fiber, Fluke Networks Multimode Fiber sources that use LED can have higher than Mandrels offer a simple, cost- expected attenuation due to power loss in effective way to: higher order modes. Fluke Networks Improve the repeatability and Multimode Fiber Mandrels behave as mode consistency of multimode optical filters and remove these unwanted high power and loss measurements order modes. The result is more repeatable, when using a LED source. consistent optical power measurements when using LED sources. Ensure that your measurements are compliant with TIA/EIA-568-B Utilize Multimode Fiber Adhere to TIA specifications standards. Mandrels easily Fluke Networks Multimode Fiber Mandrels Guarantee the correct number of Fluke Networks Multimode Fiber Mandrels promote compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA feature grooves that enable the user to wrap wraps around the proper diameter 568-B standard, which requires the use of the cable from the source five times around mandrel. fiber mandrels when testing multimode the mandrel. A retainer keeps the cable in fiber with LED sources. Unlike other Protect the 3.0 mm fiber cable place while not adversely pinching the fiber materials often used as fiber mandrels, from damage and unwanted making its use foolproof Fluke Networks mandrels have the correct microbends. Whats more, the color-coded mandrels diameter and ensure the correct number allow you to easily identify the correct of wraps. diameter mandrels for your fiber patch cord. Our fiber mandrels are sized for 3.0 mm And you can easily attach the mandrel to fiber cables the most commonly used an attachment point for storage. patch cable type in the industry. A 22 mm Fluke Networks Multimode Fiber Mandrels mandrel is available for 50/125m fiber are designed for use with Fluke Networks and a 17 mm mandrel is available for DSP-FTA 410/420, OMNIFiber MM, 62.5/125m fiber, as defined in the CertiFiber, SimpliFiber, FTK-100/200, TIA/EIA-568-B standard. DSP-FTK or any other optical loss test set featuring an LED source. Look to Fluke Networks Multimode Fiber Mandrels for more accurate and consistent measurements.
