Tier 1 Fibre Certification
Tier 1 fibre certification tools confirm that a fibre link meets loss and length limits, using a fibre tester or certifier rather than a full OTDR trace.
Showing all 2 results
Tier 1 Fibre Certification covers the fibre testers and certifiers installers use to prove a fibre link passes on loss and length before handover, along with the adapters and cover plans that go with them. It is aimed at network installers who need documented results for sign-off, not just a pass or fail light.
Choosing a certifier
- Fibre mode: kits are available for multimode or singlemode fibre, so match the kit to the fibre type on the job.
- Tester type: choose between a network certifier for full documented results and a simpler fibre tester for quick checks.
- Care plans: Sapphire Care Plan cover is available for 1, 2 or 3 years on both the certifier and its fibre adapters.
For a full end-to-end trace rather than a pass or fail result, see OTDR, and to check connector end faces before testing visit Visual Optical Fibre Inspection. Browse the wider range under Fibre Testers.
Tier 1 Fibre Certification FAQs
What is the difference between a fibre certifier and a fibre tester?
A network certifier produces documented pass or fail results against a chosen standard, suited to handover packs. A fibre tester gives a quicker check of the link without the same level of stored, printable reporting.
Can I test both multimode and singlemode fibre?
Yes, kits in this range cover multimode and singlemode fibre. Check the kit description for the fibre mode it supports before ordering, as some kits are built for one mode only.
What is the Sapphire Care Plan?
Sapphire Care Plan is a cover option for your certifier and fibre adapters, available in 1, 2 or 3 year terms. Fibre plans require the linked certifier to also be covered by a Sapphire Care Plan.
