requirements in data centers
QUEBEC CITY, April 21, 2016
/PRNewswire/ - EXFO Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO; TSX:
EXF) announced today that CommScope officially accepted the
MaxTester 940, its recently released tier-1 fiber certifier for
data centers and enterprise structured cabling. CommScope confirmed
acceptance of the MaxTester 940 Fiber Certifier OLTS as meeting the
requirements for compliance testing to ISO/IEC 14763-3.
The MAX-940 is now accepted for warranty test requirements
applicable for an AMP NETCONNECT/KRONE System Warranty within the
Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific regions. To
ensure multimode Encircled Flux compliance, CommScope specifies the
use of EXFO test cords with the MAX-940 test kit.
EXFO launched the MAX-940 in September
2015 as a fully featured tier-1 certification tool to help
installation contractors, network engineers and IT maintenance
technicians achieve faster, first-time-right system acceptance for
structured cabling in data centers and enterprise/private
networks.
Also known as the Blue Certifier for EXFO's value-added touch of
expertise in fiber testing, the MAX-940 can test against multiple
standards simultaneously. It delivers outstanding speed and optical
performances, and brings unmatched user experience together
with optimal cost of ownership in a tablet-inspired form
factor. Cost of ownership is optimized through a three-year
warranty and a calibration interval of three years; i.e., more
peace of mind and less hassle.

integrated light source and power meter, meet CommScope's

results in an extremely efficient and cost-effective way," said
