The Fluke Networks CertiFiber Max series is an Optical Loss Test Set (OLTS) for the rapid acceptance and documentation of modern multi-fiber links. It measures attenuation (loss), length and polarity for multi-fiber links with up to 24 fibers in a very short time and is designed for high measurement reliability in practice. As part of the modular Versiv / LinkWare ecosystem, the series can be seamlessly integrated into project workflows: Project specifications are neatly managed via ProjX, results are saved in a structured manner and used via LinkWare PC and optionally LinkWare Live for reporting, remote setup and project transparency. Maximum flexibility is ensured by field-changeable UniPort adapters, which enable direct connections to MPO and MMC (pinned and unpinned) - without cumbersome breakout solutions.
The series is ideal for the certification and commissioning of multi-fiber backbones and high-density cabling - especially in data centers, campus and building cabling and for migrations to higher bandwidths. Typical applications include acceptance measurements in accordance with defined limit values (PASS/FAIL), rapid fault localization in the event of conspicuous links and documentation-proof handover to clients. For troubleshooting, the series also supports integrated multi-fibre VFL (fault localization) and a duplex powermeter port (e.g. for measurements on cassettes or duplex fibres). End face inspection can also be optionally integrated into the test report to quickly detect and verify contamination as a common cause of faults.
The CFM-100S/GLD presented here is the single-mode OLTS test set from the CertiFiber Max series with two Versiv mainframes (main & remote) and integrated Gold Support. It is aimed at teams who want to efficiently certify singlemode multi-fiber links and benefit from extended services. Gold Support includes priority technical support, accelerated repair and replacement processing, loaner devices during the service period and regular calibrations - for maximum availability and investment security. Compared to the CFM-100S, the GLD variant therefore offers identical measurement and performance features, but with an extended service and maintenance package. Variants such as CFM-100S-NW/GLD are designed without Wi-Fi (e.g. for environments with radio deactivation guidelines), while the CFM-100SI family additionally integrates inspection cameras, also optionally available with Gold Support.
Product features of the series:
- Measurement functions: Attenuation (loss), length and polarity - multi-fiber certification with clear PASS/FAIL results and detailed view per fiber.
- Multi-Fiber-Speed: Checks and saves results for links with up to 24 fibers in a very short time.
- Direct connectivity via UniPort adapter: Field-replaceable, port-protecting adapters for MPO and MMC, pinned and unpinned; support for 8/12/16/24 fibers (expansion path for 32 fibers).
- High measurement reliability: Standards-preferred 1-jumper reference with guided reference wizard; reference values are stored for reporting.
- Timer & Counter (optional): Monitors time since reference set and number of tests per test reference cable for process compliance.
- Single-mode wavelengths: Calibrated for 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
- Length measurement: Range up to 25 km; uncertainty ±1 m + 1% of length.
- Loss measurement budget: Up to 10 dB (singlemode).
- Integrated troubleshooting: Multi-fiber VFL at the source port (635 nm, laser class II) and duplex powermeter port (LC duplex standard, SC duplex optional).
- Duplex power meter performance range: +5 dBm to -45 dBm (singlemode, depending on setup/port).
- Rugged operating conditions (with Versiv mainframe): Operation -10°C to +45°C, storage -10°C to +60°C, drop test from 1 m, high humidity ranges (non-condensing).
- Project & reporting workflow: ProjX project management, LinkWare PC for reports/statistics, optional LinkWare Live for uploads, remote setup and status overview.
