The Norwich-based company describes it as the first third-generation optical loss test set (OLTS) designed for the demands of high-density data centre environments required for AI.
“As AI reshapes data centres and the digital infrastructure they depend on, the margin for error in fibre networks is diminishing,” said Fluke’s Chief Product Officer, Vineet Thuvara.
“CertiFiber Max reflects our belief that trust in data centre operations starts at the physical layer. Built on the proven Versiv platform trusted by thousands of certified technicians for more than a decade, it delivers native 24-fibre support giving teams the confidence to deploy and certify the high-density networks powering AI and cloud technologies at scale.”
CertiFiber Max features
Product features include measuring loss, length, and polarity of up to 24 fibers in one second.
It offers a native connection to MPO 12 pinned cables as standard and optionally supports MPO 12/16/24 and MMC 16/24 pinned or unpinned cables. And the UniPort adapters allow connection of any MPO 12/16/24 and MMC 16/24 pinned or unpinned cable to the test port. TRC cords are available to support these same configurations, says Fluke.
Power Measurement Linearity is ±0.10dB, with repeatability of ±0.02dB, and reproducibility of ±0.02dB. Calibrated Wavelengths are 1310nm and 1550nm and, for detection, 16 large core fibers are coupled to 16 InGaAs photodiodes.
Its operating temperature range is -10°C to +45°C and the re-calibration period is one year.
