EXFO PXM/LXM - Duplex and multi-fiber OLTS
PXM-LxM: Duplex and Multi-Fiber OLTS Certification Kit
The PXM-LxM is a fast Tier-1 OLTS kit pairing a power meter (PXM) and light source (LXM) for certifying duplex and multi-fiber (up to 12 native) links in under 1 second at 2 wavelengths. It measures loss, length, and polarity with one-cord referencing, supporting singlemode/multimode fibers and connectors like MPO, LC, MDC, SN.
- Key Capabilities: Click-Out adapters for tool-free switching; integrated VFL for fault tracing
- Applications: Data centers, central offices, headends
- Innovation: Patented contactless connector and first-time-right polarity detection for hidden issues
Features a 4-inch touchscreen, 8-hour battery, and EXFO Exchange integration for seamless cloud reporting.
PXM-LxM: Revolutionary Duplex and Multi-Fiber OLTS Kit
The PXM-LxM is an advanced Tier-1 certification kit that combines the PXM power meter and LXM light source to deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy for duplex and multi-fiber optical loss testing (OLTS). Capable of testing up to 12 fibers natively (or 16/24 via dual kits or loopback), it certifies link loss, length, and polarity in just 1 second across two wavelengths. Designed for demanding environments, it supports the one-cord reference method and complies with TIA, ISO, and IEC standards, ensuring reliable results for singlemode and multimode networks.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-Fast Testing: Duplex and multi-fiber certification at 850/1300 nm (MM) or 1310/1550 nm (SM) in under 1 second; real-time job progress tracking.
- Versatile Connectivity: Patented Click-Out adapters for seamless, tool-free switching between duplex (MDC, SN, LC) and multi-fiber (MPO, SYSTIMAX MTP) without extra cords; handles pinned/unpinned genders.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Contactless hybrid connector on PXM for APC/UPC precision; integrated in-line VFL on LXM for up to 5 km fiber tracing; graphical results display polarity types, insertion loss, and length on one page.
- User-Friendly Design: 4-inch capacitive color touchscreen (sunlight-readable from any angle); field-replaceable battery for 8+ hours of use; supports offline testing in red zones.
- Smart Management: EXFO Exchange cloud integration for result upload, job management, and multi-user access; compatible with FastReporter for automated processing.
- Innovations: Industry-first detection of hidden polarity issues in trunk cabling; low-uncertainty measurements with large hybrid connector.
Applications
- Data center cabling certification and troubleshooting.
- Central office and headend fiber deployments.
- Enterprise and telecom networks requiring rapid multi-fiber validation.
