The Fiber SmartProbe
for the WireScope 350 simplify installation testing in
mixed twisted pair and fiber optic installations. Testing of both multimode and
singlemode optical fiber is supported by the Fiber SmartProbe
products. Simply attach the Fiber SmartProbe
WireScope 350 and the unit becomes a high performance optical fiber power
meter and loss meter. When the Fiber SmartProbe
and propagation delay of a fiber optic pair is measured. Fiber optic test results
are stored in the WireScope 350's tests database and can be uploaded to a
Windows-based PC via the same ScopeData Pro software used to manage
twisted pair test results.

Single Ended and Double Ended measurements and allows multiple
combinations of Fiber SmartProbes
measurements.
Double Ended testing requires two Fiber SmartProbes
either in pairs or individually and can be up to 4 km long for multimode and 50
km for singlemode. When the two Fiber SmartProbes
