IQS-12001B
Cable Assembly and Component Test System
Configure Your System for Optimal Performance
The IQS-12001B Cable Assembly Test System is available in two configurations: Standard and High-Throughput. The Standard
configuration includes only the minimal hardware necessary to get the job done. It keeps costs in check, while providing fast and
accurate measurements in a user-friendly format.
The High-Throughput (HT) configuration minimizes the handling required, reducing the overall testing time and increasing the
productivity. This mode of operation is particularly well-suited to hybrid assembly and/or multiwavelength testing. The IQS-12001B
can accommodate additional switch ports and loss meters, enabling hybrid assemblies to be tested in one sequence. External optical
switches can be controlled by the IQS-12001B GPIB interface for test applications requiring more than 32 channels.
The IQS-12001B lets you dedicate switch ports to specific connector types, which avoids having to disconnect the launch fiber, saving
valuable setup time. For example, with a 1x32 switch, you can dedicate ports 1 to 24 to MTP connectors (male and female), ports 25
to 28 to MT-RJ connectors (male and female), and still have room for FC, ST, SC and MU connectors. Depending on the device under
test (DUT), the system uses the appropriate port.

Multifiber Connector
Basic configuration for testing simplex
and multifiber bundles.
With an additional loss meter and a 1x2 optical switch, hybrid
simplex assemblies can be efficiently tested. The two master test
jumpers and detectors are configured for the different connectors
of the hybrid assembly.
Basic configuration for testing multifiber
connectors such as MTP and MT-RJ.
By doubling the number of switch ports, the system can be
configured to accept both male and female multifiber connectors.
The end result is faster and simpler testing in a single sequence.
Standard and High-Throughput configurations are also available for testing bundle, duplex and multifiber to fanout assemblies.
