VIAVI Solutions has announced the DCX 700 tier 1 optical loss test set for testing up to 24 fibres simultaneously. Building on years of experience in multifibre testing and designed to meet the fast-evolving needs of data centres, it helps simplify and accelerate multifibre certification for high-density fibre environments.
The multifibre tester is available with native support for 12-, 16- and 24-fiber configurations to streamline operations, eliminate the need for Y-cables and complex reference steps, and increase the number of certifications per shift. Additionally, its highly intuitive and automated workflow allows for one-cord referencing to simplify setup, prevent errors and reduce training time for new technicians.
Commenting on the announcement, vice president and general manager, fibre and access solutions, VIAVI, said, “Cloud providers are scaling rapidly, with increased fibre density. As a result, the need for fast, accurate and repeatable fibre certification has never been greater. Building on our expertise as a leader in multifibre testing, the VIAVI DCX 700 addresses these needs directly, providing the most technician-friendly platform that reduces setup time, improves test consistency and adapts to the ever-evolving connectivity needs of data centres.”
The DCX 700 supports tier 1 certification in line with relevant industry standards for data centre fibre infrastructure. Additional features include the use of modular adaptors, which enable the DCX 700 to operate with both current and future connectivity types. A highly rugged design incorporates an extended-life battery for full-day use.
