12 NEWS IN BRIEF EXFO improves loss testing efficiency The MaxTester 940/945 iCERT OLTS is the first tablet-inspired multifunction optical loss test set (OLTS) delivering insertion loss (IL), optional optical return loss (ORL) and fibre length measurements, for simplex or duplex fiber testing, at two wavelengths in five seconds via fully automated bidirectional FasTesT analysis. The MaxTester 940/945 iCERT OLTS (MAX-940/945iCERT) delivers speed and optical performance and has an advanced suite of user-assistance features. With its step-by-step reference wizard and intelligent fault diagnosis, the MAX-940/945iCERT provides expert guidance throughout the test process to ensure immediate efficiency for new users while removing the risk of error or negative loss – a common source of issues when testing low loss fibres. Thanks to these added features, along with the continuity audible signal, the text messaging and re-testing capabilities now enable a test job that traditionally required around 8 hours to be done in only 2.5 hours. Boasting a tablet-inspired design with a 7in high-resolution touchscreen and an intuitive Windows-like interface, the MAX-945 offers integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and supports EXFO Connect cloud-based test asset management. Moreover, its on-board reporting capabilities allow technicians to document their work live from the field with no need for post-processing back at the office. This means technicians can close jobs, get paid and move to the next one faster. With 12 hours of battery autonomy and an internal memory capacity for 150,000 test results, the MAX-940/945iCERT also ensures a full day of work in the field. n ����������������������� ����������������� ������������������ Why choose us?
