Advanced Time Saving Diagnostics





When a link fails, press the fault info key
(a “soft key”)
The screen presents the location in
graphical format
The nature of the defect or fault is
described as well
A plain language explanation of the defect
guides the technician to the spot to
implement the suggested corrective
action
DTX Series utilizes Fluke Networks
patented High Definition Time Domain
Crosstalk Analyzer (HDTDX) and High
Definition Time Domain Reflectometry

Fiber module competition


DTX Fiber Modules compete against fiber adapters
when a customer is selecting between the DTX
platform and either LANTEK or WireScope
 Compare total value of fiber and copper package
DTX Fiber Modules compete against loss test kits or
other technologies (OTDR) after the DTX platform is
selected
 Fiber modules and adapters are not interoperable
with mainframes from other companies

Kit advantages




Customers are attracted to the savings the kits
offer
Customers also prefer the convenience of 1 item #
versus multiple
Channels like easy-to-sell solutions and kits make
selling fiber attachments easier
 OptiFiber illustrates preference customers and
channel reps have for kits
The more you buy, the more you save

DTX CableAnalyzer Positioning
DTX CableAnalyzer is the next generation cable analyzer
for installers of premise network cabling (twisted-pair,
fiber, coax) who need to test, certify and troubleshoot
cabling to standards-based performance requirements.
Unlike the certification testers they own today which
are either built on older technology or don’t meet current
industry standards, DTX is the only tester that
significantly reduces Total Time To Certify by being
more efficient, more reliable and more accurate.

So what does this all mean?
If one crew was given a competitive certification
tester for free and
another crew bought DTX-1200 or 1800,
after 4 months the crew that bought DTX
would not only pay for DTX
but start saving $1400 every month.
This is Powerful Value Selling

A New Generation



The DTX Series is based on breakthrough technology
 A new digital platform with Time Xcelleration
 A merger of sorts between the DSP Series and the
OMNIScanner
Major characteristics are test speed and accuracy
 The blazingly fast test time does not sacrifice accuracy – on
the contrary: the DTX is the highest accuracy tester on the
market
Selling proposition: Significantly reduce the total time to
certify
 We will promote that every aspect of the certification process
can be streamlined
 Test more links in a day – or –
 You may be able to enjoy “Miller Time” a few hours earlier

Future-Proof

The DTX-1800 offers an extended frequency range
from 1 through 900 MHz. This provides a test
solution for
 ISO Class F links (sometime erroneously referred to
as Cat 7!)
 Siemon and Nexans Approved Adapters available in July

 Emerging requirements like 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit
Ethernet over twisted-pair cabling)
FNet will offer product upgrades from any other
model in this Series to any other model
 The DTX Series is a future-proof investment

The three components required to instill
confidence in your test results:
An accurate tester
(Baseline specification “Accuracy Level IV”)
Permanent link adapter with
1. Little or no Return Loss – stable over time
2. Very little or no crosstalk
3. Impedance very close to 100 OHM

On-board fiber modules




Insert a DTX Fiber Module into a dedicated cavity
on the back of the DTX platform
Modules communicate with the platform through a
dedicated digital interface
 Traditional fiber adapters share the twisted pair
adapter connection
Resident DTX fiber modules are always present
when you need them
 No more time lost searching for separate fiber
adapters
Switch between Copper and Fiber testing with a
touch of a button

Complete Tier 1 certification

The TIA TSB140 guidelines require Tier 1 testing of
all fiber optic cabling links
 Attenuation (insertion loss), length and polarity
 DTX Fiber Modules deliver Tier 1 certification
 Measure the optical length of a pair of fiber links
 Measure the attenuation of each fiber at two
wavelengths
 Validate polarity with FindFiber or VFL
 Upload, manage and print comprehensive test
reports using LinkWare PC software

Record-fast certification

Press the DTX Autotest button and automatically:
 Test two fibers (a transmit/receive pair)
 Each fiber at two wavelengths
 Measure optical length
 Compute and display Pass or Fail status
 Autotest time only 12 seconds
 5 measurements (length + 2 fibers x 2 λ/fiber)
 TALK, FINDFIBER, MONITOR and single fiber tests
are additional features to accelerate testing
 Bi-directional option enables two-way testing
without swapping main and remote units
61

5 measurements in 12 seconds


DTX fiber modules make 5
measurements every Autotest
compared to competitive adapters
that make 3 measurements
DTX fiber modules measure more in
less time
 12 second Autotest is 5X faster
than competitive adapters

Multimode and singlemode fiber





Networks utilize multimode or singlemode fiber, or both types
Standards-compliant DTX fiber modules are available for
multimode and singlemode fiber certification
Each multimode fiber module incorporates
 850nm and 1300nm LED sources combined into a single
output port
 A power meter calibrated at 850, 1300, 1310, 1550nm
 An on-module VFL
Each singlemode fiber module incorporates
 1310nm and 1550nm FP laser sources combined into a single
output port
 A power meter calibrated at 850, 1300, 1310, 1550nm
 An on-module VFL
A gigabit multimode module with an 850nm VCSEL source is
not available at launch but will be introduced 2H 04
 Qualification rather than certification

Glossary
Autotest – an automated sequence of measurements and calculations executed by a test instrument
Bi-directional test – testing a single fiber in two opposite directions
Fiber test adapter – a fiber test instrument that attaches to the twisted pair interface of a copper test mainframe,
also called a “fiber nose”
Fiber module – a fiber test instrument that attaches to a copper test mainframe via a dedicated connector, the
fiber module does not interfere with copper testing but co-exists in a dedicated module cavity
DTX kit – a bundle consisting of a DTX-1800 or DTX-1200 CableAnalyzer and at least one DTX Fiber Module
Multimode fiber – a relatively large core (50µm or 62.5µm) optical fiber used predominantly in LANs, most
frequently used to transmit wavelengths in the 850nm and/or 1300nm windows
OLTK – optical loss test kit consisting of an optical source(s) and an optical power meter
OLTS – optical loss test set, source(s) and meter incorporated into a single case
OTDR – optical time domain reflectometer
Polarity – orientation of Tx and Rx fibers
Singlemode fiber – a very low-loss, high-bandwidth 9µm core optical fiber used in WANs and LANs (mostly
backbones), most frequently used to transmit wavelengths in the 1310nm and/or 1550nm windows
TSB140 - TIA authored Telecommunications Systems Bulletin (TSB) titled “Additional Guidelines for FieldTesting Length, Loss and Polarity of Optical Fiber Cabling Systems.”
Tier 1 certification – Per TSB140, Tier 1 testing is required of all fiber optic cabling links. The Tier 1 tests are
attenuation (insertion loss), length and polarity.
Tier 2 certification – Per TSB140, Tier 2 testing is optional but important. Tier 2 testing supplements Tier 1
testing with the addition of an OTDR trace of each fiber link. An OTDR trace does not replace the insertion
loss measurement with an OLTK, but is used for complementary evaluation of the fiber link.
VFL – visual fault locator
