INTRODUCTION

The LanTEK IV, FiberTEK IV and IDEAL AnyWARE Cloud features industry

leading performance, reliability, durability and time saving functionality.

FiberTEK IV adapters are used with LanTEK IV for fast and simple

certiﬁcation of high bandwidth single-mode and multimode ﬁbre optic

cabling including support for encircled ﬂux testing (optional).

To pinpoint ﬁbre cabling faults every FiberTEK IV adapter includes a built-in

visible light source to help you visually pinpoint faults and locate ﬁbre ports.

FiberTEK IV provides optical loss (dB) measurements meeting Tier 1

certiﬁcation requirements.

GETTING STARTED

Ensure the software version installed on the LanTEK IV is 1.11 or higher. This

can be veriﬁed by pressing the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the

screen, then About and Software Version.

The remote software version is displayed when it is powered on and

connected to the main handset with either a copper or ﬁbre optic cabling

link.

SC/ST/FC adapters are included with the FiberTEK IV modules, An optional

LC kit is available which includes LC adapters for the Rx ports of the

modules and SC-LC test cords for use on the Tx ports.

Optional Encircled Flux (EF) launch cables are available for use when a EF

launch is required/desired for multimode testing. EF cords are not necessary

when testing single-mode ﬁbre.

When a FiberTEK IV module is ﬁrst connected

to the main handset the Set Reference screen

will appear. Set Reference is used to “calibrate”

the launch cords used during testing. Press

CANCEL to bypass and perform the Set

Reference procedure later, or press SET

REFERENCE to perform the procedure now.

Pressing SET REFERENCE will display the set

reference screen with the default settings.

HELP OPTIONS

LanTEK IV and AnyWARE cloud have a comprehensive on-board help which

will guide you through how to use the features. This can be accessed as

follows:

REFERENCE METHODS

Three options are available when setting the reference prior to testing. Each

method determines which components of the installed link are measured

during the certiﬁcation test.

1-Jumper Reference

The 1-Jumper method includes the cable plus the connections on each side

of the cable:

2-Jumper Reference

The 2-Jumper method includes the cable plus the connection closest to the

light source side of the link. The connection on the side of the cable on the

power meter side of the link is not included in the measurement:

3-Jumper Reference

The 3-Jumper method measures only the cable and does not include the

connection on either side of the cable:

1 JUMPER | NORMAL MODE

The 1 Jumper method is preferred by most cabling standards because it

most accurately represents the signal loss experienced by the equipment

during operation.

When testing the loss of the 2nd test cord, the cable under test and the two

connections of the cable under test are measured.

2 JUMPER | NORMAL MODE

The 2 Jumper method excludes the loss of the 2nd test cord and one of

the connections of the cable under test. The measured loss will be slightly

under-reported compared to the 1 Jumper method.

This method can be used when the connector type of the cable under test

are not available on the test equipment and hybrid test cords are required.

3 JUMPER | NORMAL MODE (MODIFIED 2 JUMPER)

The 3 Jumper method is preferred when hybrid test cords are required

to interface with the cable under test. It is essentially the 2 Jumper

method with a 3rd Jumper added after the reference is set to simulate the

measurement loss of the 1 Jumper method.
