m. Hybrid Power & Fiber Certification Test
A powered fiber cable system combines hybrid optical
fiber and copper cabling plus electronics to provide a
complete indoor/outdoor solution for both powering and
communicating with HD Cameras, Wi-Fi access points,
small cells, and other PoE devices. It is also known as a
hybrid cable system as it is composed of a fiber optic cable
which carries the data and two unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cables attached to a power source.
The powered fiber cable system improves speed and
simplifies installation, powering, and communication of
network devices -at 30x the distance of traditional CAT
cable systems.
Deployment of HD cameras, Wi-Fi access points, optical
network terminals, small cells, and other network-access
devices can be challenging, especially a PoE input for
power and communications,
but distance limitations, power availability, and device
placement throw a wrench into network planning.
Testing of Powered Fiber Cables
Refer to and follow steps under
to perform the fiber one-jumper set reference followed by
steps below.

1. Attach fiber cables to test both ends of the reference
cables.
Attach a PoE test cable to the power port of the fiber
adapter.
2.
Clip the ‘crocodile clip’ of the POF cable to the open
Ethernet cable pair that carries the voltage i.e. pair 3
and 6. (Note: Ensure that the pairs and the Ethernet
cable are cut open to access these pairs.)
Connect the other end of the cable to a power source
equipment (POE switch, extender or midspan).
Power on the TestPro unit and select [Fiber Certification].
The PSE voltage reading should be displayed below the
FiberMap.

n. Fiber PoE DC Resistance Test
Installing a copper cable with less resistance measurement
is the key to powering POE-enabled devices and ensuring
optimum operation and performance. TestPro units,
using a multi-mode or single-mode adapter support the
measurement of copper cable DC resistance in a powered
fiber cable system (also known as hybrid fiber, were fiber
and copper cables are combined), using the DC connector
that comes with the fiber kit.
i: Fiber PoE DC Set Reference
Just like Copper and Fiber Certification tests, it is important
to perform set reference to the TestPro main and remote
devices before doing the measurement to get accurate
DC Resistance test results. It is recommended that the
measurement is performed within 10 min of doing “set
reference”. To perform Fiber DC set reference:
Attach the single mode or multi mode fiber adapter
to the TestPro main and remote units.
•
Connecting a fiber inspection scope:
Power on TestPro, attach SM or MM Fiber adapter and
insert the fiber inspection scope into the TestPro unit’s
USB slot, located on the right side of the device. TestPro
will auto detect the fiber inspection scope and install the
relevant UVC built in drivers.
