Pendulum CNT-91

The CNT-91 Timer/Counter/Analyzer is the highest performance counter for measurement, analysis and calibration of frequency, time interval and phase. The CNT-91 is very suitable for production test systems, for R&D, in calibration labs, or in the field.

EXFO AXS-855

Industry First 

Whether for mobile backhaul, TDM/ISDN or Ethernet commercial services testing, the AXS-200/855 streamlines processes and seamlessly transitions from E1/DS1, DS3 or PRI circuits, to a full suite of Ethernet performance test functionalities without swapping modules or test units—using a single preloaded software package.

EXFO Pon Power Meter PPM-350C

Enables fast deployment, through quick reporting and workflow management.

No matter what the field of endeavour an oscilloscope is the tool of choice for charactarising and analysing high speed signals. Vicom brings you the most advanced instruments available from LeCroy.

LAN & Outside Plant Image

LAN & Outside Plant

For optical power loss testing of LAN (typically: multimode networks) and Outside Plant (typically: singlemode networks), contractors require low-cost, robust and accurate test equipment. Measuring loss using an optical loss test set (OLTS) or an optical power meter and light source combination enables installers to quickly certify the performance of the link, as well as to rapidly detect potential problems.

Mobile Backhaul Image

Mobile Backhaul

As the network backhaul infrastructure evolves to support new technologies that require more and more bandwidth, service providers need to gain real-time, end-to-end insight into network performance in order to manage existing architectures and ensure service quality regardless of the underlying technology—all the while meeting their bottom-line objectives.

Fiber Characterisation Image

Fiber Characterisation

It is a widely recognised fact: demand for bandwidth keeps growing. As they strive to reduce total network costs, network operators are considering options such as speeding up the per-channel data transfer, lighting up new communication channels. These large, powerful systems can take network performance to the next level, but they require proper installation, tuning and maintenance.

40 Gbit/s 100 Gbit/s Image

40 Gbit/s 100 Gbit/s

Bandwidth demands continue to increase at an astonishing pace. To accommodate the ongoing surge in traffic, service providers are looking into faster 40 Gbit/s networks. In addition to greater speeds, this new technology means a possible shift toward different infrastructures to compensate for various challenges that do not apply to slower networks like 10 Gbit/s.

CASE STUDY

Splicing 12 cores into 24 core cables, seems simple enough with modern splicing tools.

However, not testing them before hand can cause problems such as not having a connection to the other end.

By good fortune the company who was testing these fibers spoke to one of our technical specialist who went out the next morning with an OTDR and FIP to test the circuits.

Testing revealed 5 out of 12 fibers had a very high macro bending loss. Surprisingly most of the problems were at the patch panel with up to 3.5db losses. Fault finding using the EXFO OTDR, pinpointed the problem area, this being inadequate routing of the fibres causing severe macro bending losses. The testing and fault finding was completed within 15 minutes.

The cost of the truck roll would have been approximately $800. Training the personnel with the appropriate test equipment would have avoided unnecessary expenses.
