TREND Networks SignalTEK 10G Upgrade

Fibre Testing



(UPGRADE10GFIB)

Testing Scenario

Verify fibre link speed to 1G or 10G, measure optical power and data throughput.

Validate Fibre Link Speed

The fibre link speed test confirms the connection is 1G or 10G which can be affected by cable length or signal loss.

Troubleshoot Fibre Cable Issues

The Tx & Rx optical power measurement is compared to the expected power level to determine attenuation in a fibre link. This indicates if the connector is dirty or damaged which is the number one cause of failure.

Easy to understand traffic light status

The simple traffic light indicator displays Good, Marginal or Poor power level based on IEEE 802.3 1G/10G limits.

Max throughput test

The SignalTEK 10G will prove the maximum available bandwidth over the fibre link up to 10Gb/s.

Discover a faulty SFP

The SFP temperature is measured to help understand if it has become faulty.
