PXM/LXM advanced duplex & multi-fiber OLTS provides fastest path to Tier 1 certification

EXFO, the communications industry’s test, monitoring, and analytics experts, has introduced the pro version of its PXM/LXM OLTS (Optical Loss Test Set) providing the fastest path to accurate and reliable Tier 1 certification in data center networks now tasked with handling massive volumes of data in an AI-driven world.

“EXFO’s PXM/LXM duplex and multi-fiber OLTS is a true game-changer for Tier-1 fiber certification in data center networks, helping to alleviate pressures of faster, high-density fiber deployments driven by AI proliferation,” said Etienne Gagnon, Senior Vice-president Test & Measurement at EXFO. “We’ve set new standards for test speed, accuracy, and versatility with the innovative pro version, enabling cost savings and faster time-to-revenue for operators.”

EXFO’s PXM/LXM testing of signal loss, length, and polarity is delivered in one second—the fastest in the industry—and compliant with certification standards.

Now, contractors and data center technicians of any experience level can manage Tier-1 certifications with confidence, ensuring first-time-right testing and avoiding costly repeat tests. That’s critical at a time when data centers are being impacted by the generative AI revolution, with centers propagating globally and densifying to handle burgeoning usage demand.

The PXM/LXM duplex and multi-fiber OLTS takes Tier-1 certification to the next level with these benefits:

Fastest in the industry: 1-second OLTS testing leads the industry. And the pro version of the PXM/LXM measures loss, length, and polarity on duplex and multi-fiber links at two wavelengths, compliant with industry standards.

First-time-right polarity: the only tester on the market that can detect duplex and base-8/12 polarity issues hidden in trunk cabling.

Flexibility: In addition to native duplex and base-8/12 fiber testing, the PXM/LXM enables testing of 16 or 24 fibers in just one second using dual kits or a loopback method.

Multi-connector compatibility: switch within seconds between duplex and multi-fiber testing with patented Click-Out adapters, compatible with duplex MDC, SN, LC as well as MPO and SYSTIMAX MTP.

Pre-load tests to save time: possible to create test identifiers in FastReporter3 and import to instruments as jobs.

Lower cost of ownership: click-out connector design, 3-year warranty, and calibration keeps testers in the field, not the factory.
