OMNIScanner is the cable testing industry's most advanced handheld cable certification tool. Introduced summer, 1998, OMNIScanner is the first product to certify Categories 5, 5E and 6 cabling and to provide measurements for Category 7. "The OMNIFiber represents another first for Microtest; never before has one fiber adapter been capable of supporting measurements for both single and multimode fiber," said Sue Gallego, director of product marketing at Microtest. OMNIScanner, with the OMNIFiber adapter, provides a one-button "Autotest" that measures length, loss and propagation delay The time it takes to transmit a signal from one place to another. Propagation delay is dependent solely on distance and two thirds the speed of light. Signals going through a wire or fiber generally travel at two thirds the speed of light. Contrast with nodal processing delay. on both transmit and receive fibers at 850 and 1300 nm simultaneously. It then compares the results to the appropriate industry standard and provides a simple pass/fail indication of the tested link. With single mode fiber, OMNIScanner measures loss on transmit and receive fibers at 1310 nm. OMNIFiber continues Microtest's tradition of pioneering fiber testing equipment. Microtest launched its first fiber testing products in 1993: FiberEye and FiberLight simplify the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of fiber optic Local Area Networks.
