CERTIFICATION METER
UNIT 3
Certification Meter allows the user to store data points for the purpose of certifying fiber links against known
industry cabling standards; EIA/TIA 568, ISO/IEC 11801, and Gigabit Ethernet are some examples. A user-
friendly link configuration wizard is provided to enter fiber link parameters, which are used to calculate
reference values for easy PASS/FAIL readings.
The FiberMeter is capable of certifying and storing up to 1000 data points with user-configurable fiber labels.
Data points are downloaded into our free Extech Reporter Windows-compatible software for organizing data
points and printing professional certification reports.
