Rogue ® OLTS certifier, from AFL

Take a Rogue test

AFL has launched the Rogue ® OLTS certifier, designed for both enterprise network operators and telecom service providers. The certifier’s design features a test port on each of the paired units that measures insertion loss, return loss and length on multimode or single-mode networks. This allows certification of both enterprise networks and the single-fiber circuits found in optical access networks connecting homes and businesses. Arun Jain, director of product marketing for AFL Test and Inspection, said: “The new Rogue OLTS certifier represents a

collaborative effort with customers who asked for a flexible solution that lowered their costs for testingandcertifyingnetworks. We delivered a product that is easy to use, performs multiple tests on almost every network type, and works online or offline.” Rogue is available with dual bi-directional test ports that certify two single-mode fibers at once, without swapping test cords, to accelerate testing high density networks such as data centers. All models can be paired with an optional multi-fiber switch for certifying MPO terminated cables bi- directionally to IEEE 40 and 100G test limits.
