EXFO Multi-fiber SM Light Source 1310/1550nm
EXFO Multi-fiber SM Light Source 1310/1550nm
The PXM/LXM combo is an MPO tester designed to efficiently qualify a large number of MPO links. It tests MPO-12 cables at 2 wavelengths in just 1 second, the fastest test time in the industry. The FasTesT feature provides loss per channel at the 2 selected wavelengths, as well as the polarity type of the link under test automatically when continuity is detected.
The LXM light source includes a VFL that is in-line on the same port as the MPO source itself. Combining those two features on the same port makes them convenient to use. The VFL can trace a fiber right to the other end of the link so that the technician on the other end can easily find the MPO port to which they need to connect the PXM. The VFL also makes it easy to locate macrobends or breaks in the fiber.

FasTesT™: MPO TESTING MADE SIMPLE AND FAST
The PXM/LXM combo is an MPO tester designed to efficiently qualify a large number of MPO links. It tests MPO-12 cables at 2 wavelengths in just 1 second, the fastest test time in the industry. The FasTesT feature provides loss per channel at the 2 selected wavelengths, as well as the polarity type of the link under test automatically when continuity is detected.
COMPREHENSIVE PASS/FAIL RESULTS COMBINED ON ONE PAGE
Global pass/fail status and pass/fail per fiber
• Insertion loss per wavelength
• Polarity type (A, B, C or U) with graphical representation
• Pass/fail on actual polarity type versus expected polarity type
• Full details available on FasTesT results and fiber results page
IN-LINE VISUAL FAULT LOCATORS
The LXM light source includes a VFL that is in-line on the same port as the MPO source itself. Combining those two features on the same port makes them convenient to use. The VFL can trace a fiber right to the other end of the link so that the technician on the other end can easily find the MPO port to which they need to connect the PXM. TheVFL also makes it easy to locate
macrobends or breaks in the fiber.
