The EXFO AXS-360 Fiber Certification Tester is a handheld optical instrument for certifying fiber optic cabling in telecommunications and data communications networks. It delivers automated testing across both singlemode and multimode fibers up to 10 Gbit/s without requiring module changes, ensuring installations meet TIA-568-B and ISO/IEC-11801 standards.
## Technical Specifications
The AXS-360 supports four wavelengths across two ports: 850 nm and 1300 nm for multimode fiber, plus 1310 nm and 1550 nm for singlemode. Singlemode configurations can include a third wavelength at either 1490 nm or 1625 nm on a single port. The instrument features controlled multimode launching conditions for accurate loss measurement and displays results in a tabular format with automated pass/fail status relative to user-definable thresholds.
Optional Visual Fault Locator (VFL) functionality is classified as CLASS 3R LASER PRODUCT per IEC 60825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10, with laser radiation possible at the output port. The transflective color display ensures visibility across varying lighting conditions. Data export occurs via USB connection.
## Key Features
• Automated optical loss measurements at multiple wavelengths with step-by-step fiber loss wizard
• Fiber length verification against user-entered specifications
